| Whose Voice Do You Hear? There are so many voices in the land today- Whose voice do you hear? The voices of peers are ringing out-Come with us-We have no fear. No fear of life-No fear of death- This is what they say. I’ve read it in the messages-left laying around each day. Come go with us-Come go with us- Their voices get louder everyday. I hear the cry in music. I hear the cry in drugs. I hear the cry in alcohol- and all in the phone. The internet is calling. The porno loud and clear- The video games their playing-These are the voices that they hear. The streets are calling out-Come go with us my son. We have so much to offer you- You need to get away from home. So off he runs from day to day-No one knows where my son lay. Is he alive or is he dead-Is what’s going on in a mother’s head. Who can hear the voice of a mother? Who can know a mother’s heart? Can you hear your mother crying? Because you’ve broken her heart? Please listen very closely- To the voices all around. And discern very slowly-The many different sounds. By Mary A. D. |
