Take Heed of the Struggle
Picture yourself standing alone in a crowd,
And imagine that no one can hear you.
Do you see the struggle in speaking out loud-
And nothing you say will go through?
Speak the words that are most often not spoken,
And visualize what you can describe.
Can you read the way their faces are broken-
And believe that their words are just lies?
Listen to the people who never say a word,
And take heed of the pain in their voice.
Do you understand why they are never heard-
That all that they speak of is noise?
Consider doing all that is thoughtful and right-
And think of making 'one strong.
Can you image the good in helping one fight-
Everything you know that is wrong?
