10.Why don't they hear!

Poem N Video by Pal. An idea that flash our mind;May be share some feelings; Like to impress our best; What we intend say;They all understand;What the words mean;Not always intentions behind; Failing the very purpose of it.

 

Why don’t they hear!

 

Day in and out

Very often we communicate

Express our thoughts

That occur now or of past

 

An idea that flash our mind

May be share some feelings

Like to impress our best

 What we intend say

 

They all understand

What the words mean

Not always intentions behind

Failing the very purpose of it

 

Is it likely!

They don’t want to hear

Hear what they want to

Hear all and understand none 

 

Communication isn’t easy

Requires least two minds

Minds are monkeys like

Always oscillating, jumping

 

Rules are many, one such

“Give every man thine ear

But few they voice” Shakespeare

Experts willing to train all

Making communication effective

 

Yet why don’t they hear!

It’s just the human nature

The way we are, love all hear us

Yet no patience hearing others

 

Make us to communicate

Not with others as much

But with our own selves

A way to see oneself

You've brought some very honest points to the table, socially. This is a nice piece. Gotta love that ornery human nature. :)

Someone once said that a person's favorite subject is themselves....

"Yet why don't they hear!
It's just the human nature
The way we are, love all hear us
Yet no patience hearing others"

Great write, pal......I really like the important messages within your writing :-)

It is so very apt ... "like monkeys ... jumping" our minds so often wander and dart around when we have meant to afford our ears full attention but don't. A nice piece. Best wishes, Bethlynne.

You are completely right. I guess if we learn how to listen to ourselves we might be able to hear what others are saying. I think that we have music playing in our heads, but the music is playing so loud that all we can hear is that. We cant care for anything or anyone else but our own thoughts. Once we learn how to quiet our minds we learn to hear the world and what it has to say. We see things that werent there before for the simple fact that they can hear it and pay attention to it.
But why can we hear, i think is that we are too selfish to hear what others have to say before our own needs. Is all about the me factor, what i think, what i have to say, what i need, etc...
If we get over that, we will hear again...
Thanks...
One!

understanding = knowledge and experience
Language is a set of irregular agreements and understanding is the result of years of laughter and tears. Language is a bridge, connecting; Poetry is the stream below, meandering, murmuring, reflecting many Suns; meaning!

[Chillbear Latrigue]

These are fascinating concepts. My appreciation for your style is growing. Very nice poem.

The most important thing is communication, the most destructive thing is mis-communication. You bring up some salient points about how necessary interacting with those around us can be.

Narcissism at its finest. Indeed, why don't they hear. Perhaps your words are falling on the wrong ears? Keep speaking my friend. Your words eventually on the right ears shall fall.

[Iola]

What a strong message, and still it feels througout the poem as if you struggle to get the message accross.. i.e. pausing here and there?

Pal, I agree with this that we should be better listeners and really listen to when someone speaks to us of what they say and not what we want to hear. Our interpretation isn't always the right one.
