The Silent Voice

In London's Hyde Park, there is a corner, called Speaker's Corner. Perhaps it is Speakers' Corner because the idea is that it belongs to all the speakers. Egal. There is a small box upon which one can stand. There, he or she can say whatever they want. They can make a speech about how England is the most evil place in the world and all of them should die. They can read the poem they wrote for their sweetheart. Whatever. This gentleman chose to stand on the box for an extended period of time without saying anything. People would come to find out what he had to say, but he would remain silent. One man even egged him on. "C'mon, what have you got to say? Why are you up there? Tell us." But he just stood and stared at the man. I tried every so hard to figure out what his message was but I remained unsuccessful. Perhaps he had no message and only wanted to stand on the box.

Peace.
