Just Listen

Just Listen…

Just listen to the words I have to say ‘cause it just might make a difference to you and me

Just listen to my poetry

because you might reveal my inner mystery

Just because you don’t listen

does not mean you can’t hear

Just listen to our history

and try to solve my mystery

Just listen to the cry of hate

competing with the whisper of love

Just listen to my plea of help, to hear my woes revealed

Just listen to the words I write, speak, sing, or scream ‘cause I can make a change

Just listen to the music Mother Nature provides with all her care and love

Just listen to the cries of starving babies, who don’t care about the bills

Just listen to rich laughing down at the poor just ‘cause they got more

Just listen to the riots in the streets below

Just listen to the frightened child

who is afraid of the violence in the streets

Just listen to one’s sad story,

to learn their history

Just listen to this poem written down on my paper by my pencil cause’ this poem is my…

Side

My view

My cue, to speak

My story

My life

My view through my eyes

Are you listening?

Just Listen…
