heard


every one wants to be heard

but everyone else it already talking

every one wants to speak

but everyone is already talking

and people get annoyed

but no one hears 

because every one is talking loud

louder and louderand louder

until no-one listens 

things are heard

but not understood

things are said

out of anger and fear

people talk about change 

preach on how they are right

but no one understands

because peaople talk

and they dont listen 

there is no way to get people to hear what they dont want to

so i can only write

to ask 

to ask anyone

to stop talking for a second

and listen
