As you cry victims
and say “empty bottles make
most noise, know I know
I know, that there were touches
Which caused the noise, whose touches?
II
Touches give movements
and movements give noise, a choice
So touch not, mouth zipped
Touch and say, empty barrels
and itchy hands cause most noise

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

There is an old Iranian saying: a coin in an empty bucket makes the most noise. I love the way you’ve crafted this poem. 🙂

Empty Barrels, only seem empt, because they are full of unseen forgotten dreams!

A miss spelling (empt = empty) so sorry, from a childlike soul, whom had little schooling from a distorted past, prides himself with doing his best to have correct grammar…
