Stop the Noise
Ever think about noise The refrigerator that hums at night Thinking It’s communicating something important Sleep finally embraces you And it becomes the perfect hour For a lawnmower To begin trimming the grass Comfortably at your window seat Listening to the empty skies While next to you Someone talks incessantly Cars pass each other Acting as evolutionary species Smiling at our ignorance As they transport us from place to place Have we forgotten The sound of flowing rivers Its language We once understood If we listen carefully We might hear something Familiar and friendly From the universe Have we turned our backs From the natural rhythm And now entertained By the language of progress Sounds of Daily News Non-stop flow of information Permeates the Mind I surrender! Stop the Noise
