Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
Listen
you said you called it listen
so why when she speaks
you turn the other way
not concerned to know
what she has to say
you said you called it listen
but often times it seems
you disregard, then missing
her view.......is it she or
is it you
trying to figure whats good
she silently forgets
for it is understood
that to listen
we must hear
what is being spoken
but if every time
she speaks and
her thoughts are broken
then what good
would it be
to call it listen
since his mind
will not receive
what it has not
yet heard
perhaps she'll listen
and just call
it words
