Echo of the silence

Echo of the silence

 

In the noise of the city that never rests

the silence passes like time flies.

A cacophony of sounds, loud and angry

follows us through the day into the night.

 

The roar of the machines, the noise of traffic,

they fill the air with their violence.

The walls of the houses tremble to the rhythm of the noise,

and our souls are maltreated and sickened.

 

Ears hurt, heart grows heavy

when the noise drives away the silence.

Concentration dwindles, thoughts fly away,

and the spirit drowns in this shrill sea.

 

The nerves are raw, the insomnia threatens,

the noise penetrates every corner of the soul.

Stress and tension are his companions,

while driving us insane.

 

The birds fall silent, nature suffocates,

in this deafening storm of noise.

People go deaf to the soft melody

who once accompanied life.

 

It's time to stop the noise

restore peace in our world.

Because only in silence can we heal

renew our senses and find peace.

 

Let's fight the noise for a quieter world

where health and well-being thrive.

'Cause the noise, it's not just a nuisance

but a poison that slowly poisons us.
