Lost Voices


Noise all over

From shouts of passion
To the secrets of whispers
A gentle hush of a loving heart
Outbursts of an outgoing soul

Do you hear them? Intriguing?

The relaxing chirp of a lonely bird
The hypnotizing roar of a speeding car
That uplifting beat from the coffee shop speakers
The laughter of friends in the corner

Do you hear them? Enjoyable?

Words of the unfortunate lot
Cries of the downtrodden
Chants from the pickets
Songs of the oppressed

Can you hear them? Drowned?

The glee of promises
The illusions made by a chosen power
The yearning hearts swayed
So easily tricked, desperate to a fault

The choice silenced, the soul lost.
