Demon Song Poem by Hm. Nes

The demon song repeats
Like a record skipping,
Playing the same disjointed phrase
Over and over and over again.
Only the loudest noises,
Demanding to be heard-
Angry motorists, honking horns,
Alarms, Sirens, Whistles, Bells,
Spouses shouting,
Kids shouting,
Neighbors shouting,
Teachers shouting,
Politicians-
Only the noisiest noises
Can dispel the demon song.
Silence is risky.
A quiet place will never do;
For there the demon song is deafening,
Demanding to be heard.
