'Listen' has the exact same letters as 'Silent'. Coincidence?

Angry Gods, an original poem by PoetryGrrrl

on February 23, 1996

I want to run barefoot
through the sand
of some deserted beach
and feel the wind
brushing its' fingers
lightly through my hair.
I want to fall asleep
under the blanket of night
and hear the crashing waves
compose a lullabye just for me
then awake to watch
the blush of dawn
over the yawning horizon
while the tide nibbles hungrily
at my bare feet.
I want to feel the sun
beating down my back
and watch the time
pass slowly by me
I would like to worship the Sun god,
to drink a toast to him
from the sweet morning dew
and bow down before the angry winds.
I shall set the gods free from
their long silent slumber.
Awake, awake unto me!
you must defeat the usurpers
and take back your own.
I myself will be
the first sacrifice.
A world without man,
Amen.
