Silence Creates Consensus

“Hush, little baby, don’t say a word.”
so you speak
            as if
what I say
to you
does not
exist
as if
I
do not
exist
as if
I have nothing
to say
because you
do not
want to hear
what
I say
so you say
            shhhh
            silence
            shhhh
            no more
            shhhh
            who are you
            anyway
thus I am silenced
are we in agreement
