Is Anybody Out There?


Is Anybody Out There?

Does anybody see the pain?

Or are we all distracted by our own pains?

Selfishness

Runs around in and out.

We're all distracted,

Compacted

With life, with dreams

With work, but not screams.

The screams of society.

Of the woman alone with her baby.

Of the man with no food.

Of the child who cares for her home.

Of the abused, the hurt.

Silent screams. 

Is Anybody Out There?
