My empty words fly on paper wings <br />into the endless realm of disregard. <br />No one bothers, they pass quickly by, <br />as everything burns down around them <br />but they dont notice, they dont care. <br />Ashes fall from the sky <br />to swirl around oblivious feet <br />and yet they see nothing, know nothing, <br />Feel nothing. <br />I shout, I must be heard <br />but their ears are deaf to my voice. <br />And my purpose withers, turned black <br />by ignorance. <br />And I cry, as one by one <br />they fall into nothingness, <br />a fitting demise for those <br />whose ears are closed <br />to such simple words.<br /><br />Michele Campbell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/untitled-226/
