Listen

Jeremy Leach

There’s no point talking until your ears listen

Spouting your views without consideration

Of my world, my perspective and my inner thoughts

Your closed mind a moat surrounding your fort

 

And what’s the point of your own echo chamber?

Where your words just reflect what you remember

About a selective, cherry-picked reality

Shielding yourself from the words sent from me

 

I’m not saying I know that I am right

And I’m certainly not into mind-games and fight

But if you don’t try to listen and try to understand

There’ll be no road back and no helping hand

    That's quite a frustrating conversation to have and it aggravates the soul. Exquisitely worded🙏🏻🕊️

    We are so guilty as a race of not listening properly enough and just to keen to get our point across, nicely expressed in this write

  • sorenbarrett

    Very well rhymed this poem of one sided communication with a person set in their mind and unable to see another point of view. Nicely done
