Compassion For The Hearing

I felt there was another side to what Nina said. I agreed with her somewhat but I felt there was another story to tell:

You have forgotten those of us that choke on the sound of our ears
whole choclea rounds open air that sound
of silence is the same sound of the dead
So we crank up the noise til we bruise our ears red

Or: to bear such horror the ear is most defenseless because it has no
tears to shed

I think you misunderstand us

Sometimes, there are so many voices inside that they fight to keep our
attention and one poor tormented soul can't talk long enough before
another jumps in

dear poet don't misunderstand we do long for this
silence but we wish to carry it first from within

Sometimes, a song is the only solitude we have;
the only peace we can play

We live in a world of business "cut-throat" does not mean harm, it means
death.

Auditory assault: for every sense a sentance
an advertisment

sometimes dear poet the only control we feel we can have over a world
that isn't ours is a song that tells our truth.

Understand, if there was a "golden silence" you could give us we would
accept it but all we have in reality is brass.

Deep thoughts...!

I lovelovelove the first stanza. Thank you for doing this.

I think those advertisements, or songs part of pop culture are meant to be part of that drone.. it is an inability to experience real music or the hush of silence. Now, many people only have a pleasure that isn't real pleasure, instead it's a violent sort of excess.

I love this line:

"Sometimes, a song is the only solitude we have;

the only peace we can play"
