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
