Melodic sounds of nothing pierce the silent air,
Calling out to the people who no longer can listen.
A penetrating pitch of nothing resonates in the bleak sky
And slowly floats down into the souls of the arrogant,
Those refusing to listen to the muted cries of the poor.
All sounds silent to them save their own cruel voices.
Talking about how selfless they are,
While drowning out the needy cries of those suffering and dying.
The hypocrites put on a show and pretend like they care,
When in reality, they turn up their voices
So as to remain ignorant to the reality
That when others are in need,
Their cries are heard by no one,
For the desperate songs of the suffering
Sing in the silence piercing the egoists
With a thunderous and profound nothing,
Applauding with resounding ignorance
Drowning out the sonorous silence.
