The people that REALLY suffer, are the ones you NEVER hear about. The ones who's story NEVER get's told. The people you'll never meet, or hear about in history books. The silent. The dead. The ones who didn't ever get to say "I deserve a chance!" or "Please, help me...?" Because there was NO ONE to listen...
They are the ones that deserve our help the most, yet we will never get the chance to offer it; or they to receive it. We will never know who they are, (or were.) And in their lonely dreams the words they hear are not lavish, and are not the words of a grand rescue, but rather the least that they hope is that we will learn something in hindsight: "if only we would have known, we could have helped...." But those words are just a dream to those who live in a world that does not recognize them. It's their salute to the future they will never have, but hope to give to someone, someday, that may be suffering just like they did.
They are the ones who never had a friend. They are the ones who never had a blog to ask for help on. They are the ones who didn't get the things that most people are privileged to have. They are the ones that we can not even fathom the life of because it has never been heard about. They are the ones that we as a society give no voice to, because we close our ears to them. We shut them out because WE THE PEOPLE WITH VOICES ARE TOO LOUD, and we shout about all the wrong things. We don't really CHANGE what needs CHANGING. We complain, and whine, and we think WE DESERVE BETTER! But we don't...
And all they while THEY are the ones that cried so loudly and yet that sorrow fell not on deaf ears, /but on no ears at all..../ They are the ones that when they cried out to the universe for 'SOMEONE ANYONE??' That there was not even an /ECHO!/
And here we are, crying about OUR lives, about OUR suffering... We aren't suffering if we still have our voices. I tell you this: Our voices are strength, and as long as we have a voice we still have hope, and the ones with a voice have an obligation to help those that have no voice! We are the ONLY ones that can give those without a voice, sound! And in order for that to happen, we first need to SHUT OUR MOUTH'S AND LISTEN!!!
We are the ones that can give them a voice, by simply closing our mouth's and opening our ears.
Listen...
LISTEN!!!!
What do you hear?
Because I .... I only hear a whole lot of /complaining./
And not enough /changing./

Very true. I posted something today and I say exactly that, people think they should ignore things to be happy. And I consider that position very conformist. People never, ever try to change stuff.

As simply-worded as this entry is, [and that's not at all a bad thing] it is very prophetic. One thing that the prophetic moves in, is to stand in the gap for the defenseless, the widowed, the voiceless. To help in seeing the world [and our personal communities], describing it, and letting the people know where change is needed; and in an era of deep conformity and confusion-- this is a rare [but desperately-needed] call. All you said is true; all of us need change, all of us complain, and few of us take the time to use our voices for anything other than our own demands.
To me, The last phrase made the whole piece come together. Thanks for using your poetic voice to shake the audience up.
