Missing Sound Poem by Praveen Thach

We gotta ask ourselves,
Whats missing in the big picture?
Why can't a health care bill
get thru in the US?
Why can't a 33% quota for women
get thru in India?
It doesnt even sound of equality!
Come to think of it,
Whats really missing is the sound.
The politicians always find their sound.
The bill in its paper form finds its sound.
Where's the sound of the ordinary people
who pay for politician's seat
and the paper bill
and their final resting place
wherever that may be...
