To Voice Anew So Listen Poem by Michael Walkerjohn

Ask of each individual,
in questioning voice do so speak;
what do you hear in mind,
serenity, or shriek of cacique;
scowls light ire in many,
rushed breath blows up physique;
faces pall in anger,
response is bleated speech oblique.

Spite filled hiss responses spew,
as each mind arrogates;
unbeknown in every mind,
a copiousness of soul alligates;
on bent ear minds mourn,
lisps combine intone accentuate;
blends in society's castes clash,
seek persona adrogate.

While quiet seeps in many,
enured skeptics rise to shun;
convergent whip by soul,
rheological construct is undone;
mood prevalent a disorder,
choose to listen not to learn;
turn away will in teaching,
changed minds they all spurn.

Thought pore of inane horde,
heard is fate by sortitaion;
verity is proof,
idle truth at once life's acceptitation;
needful on bent knees,
breathe prayer for world abusion;
answer heard, is solemn word,
humankind earned abluvion.
