Sound

The sounds of agony surrounding me The noise; palpable Like a million pinpricks against the skin But alas the screams are ignored Deaf ears listen in silence The sound roars, begging to be heard Screams reach their peak The ear’s barrier breaks And they hear But they do not listen Only their shouts exist They pretend theirs is the only noise But the sound is a Legion Of one hundred dreams And broken hearts The sound is still But ever moving From person to person Until we live in the silence Of our own agony That deafens our ears again Unbearable noise; unforgettable Never forgotten; only dormant Until they shout again Clashing noise against noise All in chaotic unison And catastrophic harmony Singing of peace Brought by demise And how we still will not listen Until we can scream no more
