Lemme Talk
<p>Verging from our very horizon </p><p>We argue at length over the cause we've forgotten,</p><p>The ecstatic emerging from this talks of boyish age</p><p>Keep us drown and our mind down outside the clock.</p><p></p><p>Voice of the stout stoop and conquer those of the weak</p><p>As barbarian we talk in thousands,</p><p>Rains of saliva source from our mouths</p><p>The thought of conceited idea run in our eyes,</p><p>Our argument veer from academic, put its comma at religion and continues.</p><p></p><p>The new convert talk like a rabbi,</p><p>The newly admitted talk like a guru,</p><p>Saint take comfort in the argument of Paul </p><p>One will not wait even for the weak lass,</p><p>Mucus of lad with his catarrh comes with eagerness to talk.</p><p></p><p></p><p>In likely tales speech, the neck of the tall stretch like a giraffe,</p><p>The enthusiastic to speak filled the atmosphere,</p><p>Heart beat twice after room was given to one to speak. </p><p>An error develop in English and jargons,</p><p>The uncareful almost walk into crawling automobile,</p><p>Many forgone way home.</p><p></p><p></p><p>The short jump as if by this his word will grow and gain ground,</p><p>We speak as if shouting louder</p><p>will summon meaning from the noise,</p><p>but meaning hides in the silences</p><p>in the spaces between breath and anger,</p><p>where listening might just live.</p><p></p><p>Voices clash; some sharp, some trembling, each desperate to be heard,</p><p>to make sense of a world unraveling.</p><p>Yet even the loudest roar can’t drown the quiet questions</p><p>that linger in the behind the wall.</p><p>In the midst of all this uproar, truths slip by unnoticed</p><p>beneath the dance of tongues.</p><p></p><p>Perhaps one day,we’ll lower our voices,</p><p>Learn in closer and hear each other again not as enemies in battle,</p><p>but as souls craving light in the same dark compound.</p><p></p>
