Talking To a Wall

TALKING TO A WALL By Leonard Kleeman Did you ever feel like talking to a wall? It isn't hard to do if there's no one there at all. You are all alone and no one is there But you want to talk; for someone to hear. You have things to say but to your dismay, Everyone is gone, maybe just for the day. Thinking and talking are not the same thing. So you must talk out loud or maybe just sing. You want to be heard so you make your voice loud. You stand up and shout and that makes you feel proud. Maybe someone near has heard you announce whatever you wanted to say or pronounce. But no one can answer and your voice just rebounds off the walls all around you and nothing expounds. So your thoughts are just lost and your shoulders you shrug. No one will listen except maybe bugs in the rug. And that's the way life is when we have something to say. People just don't listen; they want things their way No matter who's right and no matter who's wrong. They just don't care even if it's just a song. Some people may listen but not really care. What you have to say just floats in the air. They don't want to think of important things. They'd rather watch ballgames or fights in the rings. These are the people who just know they are right. They don't know how to listen but know how to gripe. They are not the ones whom you'd ever call. For talking to them is like talking to the wall. If you have something to say that people should know You must find the right people who want to think so. They are the ones who are eager to learn and are interested and show some concern. That's why it's important to have a loved one near who will listen very closely and really will hear. We need one another to prevent any fall and to never again have to talk to a wall.
