Sounds I listen to...

The voices in my head,
The roar of thunder,
A taking-off jet.

A baby's gurgles,
On a roaring river,
a popping bubble.

Soft Sufi, Hard Rock,
Chimes and tinkling bells,
The pitter patter of a rain drop.

These sounds move me,
Them I listen to.
But that's about me.

What about you?

I write - LIX

Gloom, doom,

Many - a loud boom.

Death, pain,

Nothing will ever be the same.

Panic, fears,

Culminate in tears.

Smoke, dust,

Too many laid to rest.

Terror, danger,

More outraged anger.

Candles, slogans,

What a contradictory sight.

It's not worth it I say

When people are brought home

Never to see the light of day.

For oneness, brotherly love

Harmony and humane delight,

For patience, for tolerance

For peace

I write.
