Somebody is crying
There is too much shouting
Nobody will listen
Why will no one listen?
Somebody is crying
Dal's class. I actually read this one to the class, and afterwards Ali and Eden both were like, "Why are you still in school? Drop out and write! Get rich quick!" Little happy moment for me. :)
You can hear them if you listen
For the sound is very soft
Drowned out by other noise.
No one can hear a word
For the yells and threats are far too loud
And drown out sense and reason
They shut their eyes and ears
So words and thoughts they don’t enjoy
Are drowned out by their fears.
They turn their heads and sigh
Selfish thoughts and sinful deeds
Drown out human decency
You can hear them if you listen
If you get past all the other noise
And listen, it is there.
