-nobody Listens Anymore-
Nobody listens anymore,
For to listen, is a talented gift
a blessing to be, still, found.
For everybody wants to be heard,
And the noise of trying to get in a word
is so, deafening a sound.
That nobody listens anymore
and some pretend to listen with half an ear
then, half the message, is now but a lost sound
and half the lessons, have remained unlearn't.
All because there was no one to hear,
All because nobody listens anymore.
