Listen
Listen to the birds; do you hear them sing
Listen to the weeping willow; do you hear it cry
Listen to the cars; do you hear them go by
Listen to the people; do you hear them gossip and slander others
Listen to the victims; do you hear their screams
Do you listen to these things that are going on around you
Do you hear these things that happen every day
Listen to me; do your hear what I'm saying
put down your phone; go for a walk
get off of your social network; play a board game
stop your gossip; go wash your mouth
stop your bullying; end the screams
