The listener

Always be you.

The listener didn't listen
for once and that caused
destruction in their life

but somehow they fell 
in love with the chaos.

The talker didn't talk

for once and that caused
them to feel a little uneasy
as their voice wasn't heard
during the rumble of fairness.

The silent talked and 
the loving bled their

deepest sorrows and 
people didn't know how
to retaliate them.

The lost were found
and all was well until

the living found a way

to escape the hardships
that life always provided.

I enjoyed reading this! I don't know if you intended it to, but it made me think about war and politics, the listeners being our leaders, the talkers being their advisers, the silent and the loving being the people and the lost being those who get displaced by war.
I'm not one who really LOVES poetry, but this was very impressive!
Thank you!!

I loved this one. So simple yet wonderful to read. Reality coded in your words. The last para makes for a 'killer ending'. Absolutely loved it!
