Simply Not a Sound
Everyone's born with two ears
but some sadly do not hear
simply not a sound to be heard
nothing comes no matter what gear
One's eyes see all around them
even so, it's not possible to understand
all that's going on without a good ear
nothing is heard not even to demand
In this, it feels like words so dark
all painted black with no real colour
cannot be described not even a little
so one is lost for words even be duller
The world is a mass of nothing
turn the volume up does not change
all is always the same so empty
this is so monotonous with no range
But then sign language brings hope
learn this well so to help communicate
then friends can be made be a real help
so then you find you can translate!
