Listen

The world is a noisy place
Everyone speaks at the same time 
No one seems to listen
Everyone tweets, posts & reposts,
We live via hashtags,trends, pins, 
Every second
There is something "new" 
More noise 
And... 
The noisier it gets 
The less 
People are connected 
Despite the social media tools we have
We say we are wirelessly "connected"--
Stalking lives of friends from long ago 
Wishing we were really truly connected
It is a good thing
No! 
It is a great(!) thing 
The truth never changes
It is unshakeable
Despite new trends 
And gadgets 
The challenge lies in 
How to say these truths
In a fresh new way 
To be heard above the din
Not brushed-off as religious gibberish
