What does man hear
Are they irritating sounds
Does man even truly know how to hear  
Or do they hear frightening noises so they forget to hear at all

I believe man has forgotten how to listen
They hear everyday, but they don’t really listen

Man hears wind and thinks “**** a storms coming”
The sounds of music causes a headache
The sound of rain does nothing to them but make them run indoors

If Man truly listened they would hear pine trees sing as the wind pushes through them
They’d hear the pain, love, joy, the very feeling behind each music note
And when the pitter patter of rain began, they’d hear a soft hypnotic song not rain at all

But man has forgotten how to listen
And this causes me great sorrow
because they will never hear the world's natural beautiful sounds
The sound of the words I love you leaving ones lips
The song of a wolf’s cry to the moon
A child's first joyful laugh….
No it will be lost to them
For Man only knows how to Hear...not listen.
