Getting Heard

Slam it hard,
yeah its your point I am talking about,
do not go round about,
identify the nail head,
hammer it till it turns red,
people have opaque minds,
clothed with rhino skins,
they hear little and understand even less,
mostly they do so when it is self interest,
rest of it they simply ignore,
whoever said that listening was an art was right,
however to get heard its a real fight.
