To Be Heard
Folder:
Soul Poetry I speak in volumes,
decibles above,
what close-minded ears can hear.
Those who only listen
to politically correct dialogue,
spewn forth
from both sides of society's mouth,
but turn a deaf ear
from truth.
To be heard above the din
of the system's voice,
one must project higher tones
than the kindergarten phonics
and tantrum dramatics,
of the playground bullies.
One must speak in loud
and monotone tongue,
emphasizing pro-nun-ci-a-tion,
to be assured they grasp
the difference between
verb and noun,
the distinction of action...
and reaction-
lest they become confused,
angered,
take their gameball,
stomp off the playing field
and refuse to play nicely.
