Futility Poem by Jim Milks

I scream to the ocean
of my pain and emotion
The waves just crash against the shore
No one answers me anymore

I talk to the wind the wind does not hear
The trees bend and shake and it is crystal clear
All my words simply disappear

I cry to the mountain
my tears a fountain
The mountain of solid dirt and stone
Leaves me to my fate
to be alone

I pray to the almighty
Though it seems flighty
I wait to hear
With a twinge of fear
And I wait to hear
Wait to hear
To hear
Hear
