Listen

Listen well,
  to the man on the street,
  to the child crying,
  to the ones silenced.

Listen well,
  to the storms coming,
  to the silent butterfly,
  tot the hum in the air.

Listen well,
  not to judge,
  not to make your opinion,
  not to put forth agenda.

Listen, listen,
  to the other,
  to their opinion,
  to their agenda.

Just listen,
  because no one is,
  they only respond,
  and miss each other.
