			<title>Haunting Silence</title>
			<description>            &amp;quot;The Silence, so quiet and foul.Annoying and cruel, taunting me with inaudible malice.Oh how I wish Silence would leave.I may take my life should he grow.I hear him, yet to take his leave, but a welcome long overstayed.His silent screams wak..</description>
