Not Caring If I Have a Turn

I listen, learning a new perspective It might not have been mine but it may be plausible It might even entice me to another way of thinking I am silent, whereas others are puffed up with opinion Their attitude is scaring some, turning off others I am silent, not waiting for a turn, not caring if I have one Listening to other ideas, learning new things Because I want to help this world be the best she can be And I think this is the way to help her the most

I have always asserted that I learn much more by listening than by talking. If I don't know much about a topic, I sit and listen to others discuss it. Next time, perhaps I'll have something to contribute. If not, I'll listen some more.

We need more listeners in our world; unfortunately, the loudest talkers seem to be squeezing us to death here.
