Silent Sounds

Silent Sounds And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening From The Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel We speak in sentences that have no meaning Empty words flow from the mouths of fatuous politicians, but who listens. Earbuds drown out the cacophony of crowded streets as we hurry to the safety of our silent home. We sit in silence hoping our years of love will drown out the noise of the supper television. Shrill voices, meaningless words spill from flapping lips fall on deaf ears. Real silence is refreshing when nothing is said and human voices are stilled.
