The Cancer of Silence

by Shae Turner - Maple Ridge Secondary, Maple Ridge BC Nov 15, 2011

Unspoken words
Fuel the fear
The cancer of silence
Blind to the violence

Fuel the fear
Turn a blind eye
Blind to the violence
Spreads and divides

Turn a blind eye
Ignore reality
Spreads and divides
An infectious disease

Ignore reality
It won’t disappear
An infectious disease
There is no cure

It won’t disappear
Infiltrates the weak
There is no cure
This merciless lie

Infiltrates the weak
Unspoken words
This merciless lie
The cancer of silence
