Scream Until They Hear You Out

People can hear you there's no need to shout,
they're just ignoring and blocking you out,
you were heard clearly of that there's no doubt,
but your opinion isn't worth thinking about.

They only acknowledge you so that there's silence,
the volume hints you belong in an asylum.
Some ideas are clever and some a bit dumb,
if ideas are good you'll get their attention.

You don't ever need to scream loud to be heard,
when ideas are good and put into words.
Books make valid points, this has always occurred,
and books with silent text are rarely unheard.

Just apply the logic, speak clearly and be calm,
use your wit, offer insight and you will charm,
do this and the worlds ears will fall into your palm,
you're probably talking s**t if you need to scream like an alarm.
