a subtle change of word
Paul Simon may not approve but don't blame me, it's all stoney's fault.
Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I surf the net alone
cryptic pages of vb code,
neath the halo of a my desk lamp,
I stretched my fingers to remove a cramp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A monitor light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing words that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.
Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the computer God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the forum threads
at least that has been said.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
