do you remember the day, there was humming in your ears...
threatening skies, and no surprise, your eyes were full of tears?

now the humming is a tone, high pitched, always there...
the world's become so noisy, we hardly even care.

complacency...an epidemic...don't let it suck you in...
get angry if you have to..don't be shy..let's all begin.

be yourself, we all deserve it..don't forget to tell your friends..
say it, when you've had enough..if guilty..make amends.

take the time to listen..listen every chance you can...
listen for the heartbeat of...every woman...every man.

listening... what a difference we all could make if we could learn to do that

nice write

Wonderful as always Kalunda...

Reminds me of the song from Dreamgirls:

I hear your heart as it shares with all of us
