‘Sit in Silence’: A Poem by Bennett Chatigny

Sit in Silence

—a pantoum

It’s pure stupidity to sit in silence.
It’s only idiotic to be idle.
Unconscientious deeds should be derided.
Decisive daily action’s very vital.

It’s only idiotic to be idle.
There’s nothing worse than watching death’s arrival.
Decisive daily action’s very vital.
The opposite’s a deadly downward spiral.

There’s nothing worse than watching death’s arrival.
It’s better, then, to toil towards a purpose.
The opposite’s a deadly downward spiral.
It only serves to make the soul feel worthless.

It’s better, then, to toil towards a purpose.
An unfulfilled intention’s simply torture.
It only serves to make the soul feel worthless.
So, act upon ideas, start moving forward.

An unfulfilled intention’s simply torture.
All things imagined up can be accomplished.
So, act upon ideas, start moving forward.
Propel towards the sky, your life’s a rocket!

All things imagined up can be accomplished.
Provide yourself with thoughtful meditations.
Propel towards the sky, your life’s a rocket!
No limits have been set for God’s creations.

Provide yourself with thoughtful meditations.
It’s pure serenity to sit in silence.
No limits have been set for God’s creations.
All needs, if ever asked, will be provided.
