After the Vow of Silence

This is a response Rajveer in Div. 2 wrote after participating and after watching this video

"No talking!!!!This video show kids that what happens around the world when kids can't stand up and have to be forced to do something. I was very excited to take the vow of silence.While it was happening I was so tempted to talk.I think other people felt that way too.I also thought how did Balkaran not talk.I think it was very challenging for both of us.It was sooo hard to listen to Ms.Forsyth while we were in gym.  The vow of silence reminded my of a book I read called Speechless because the kid in that book also took a vow of silence.  I think the vow of silence was special because lots of people joined it and we stood up to help the kids that are not allowed to talk."

Poems written during The Vow of Silence...

Silent
No talking
No saying
Forced
Unable
Shushed
No hope
Taken
Happy
Unhappy
Left out
Beaten
Tortured

We can make a difference
Speak up!
End the silence in the world!

by Balkaran

_______________
Silence fills the air
Masks conceal our words
From escaping
The ones who are silent
Don't get freedom
We are silent
That's another world
