The Human Voice Is Merely A Sound That Fades Into The Air

What good do we do?
in this world we are in
especially with our tongues
giving our sounds an airing

We humans have a voice
given to us to air a sound
to which we should use well
or else it'll be buried underground

So often this voice is so human
for it fades away into the air
just in a moment, it goes away
never to sound the same indeed so rare

At times we wish we were not so
to be like animals not to talk
what troubles we would escape
just to be like that big rock

It would be good to ponder
on this fact of a human voice
be wise on how we use it
for we humans do have a choice
