The ear of the world is deaf.
The people scream
And they cry
And they try to save themselves
But no one can hear.
Every day, the cries
Of the persecuted
Grow louder
But no one can hear.
Screaming, crying,
There is pain
And heartbreak
And suffering.
But no one can hear.
The African Americans
Want to be free
And women
Want to be safe.
But no one can hear.
Men and women
Around the world
Want love and peace
And acceptance.
But no one can hear.
Millions of people
Scream out to the heavens
Hoping that someone,
Anyone, will hear their cries
And save them
And deliver them
And love them
And accept them.
But no one can hear.
I honestly couldn’t have said it better.
I truly wish that people would pay attention to what is going on around them and do something about it.
