Be Seen Not Heard Poem by Ray Hansell

All I hear is chatter
As people sit and talk
I have to leave the area
I have to take a walk

If everyone is talking
Who's doing the listening?
Everyone should just be quiet
So they can hear what they are missing

What they would hear is silence
A quiet and peaceful place
The sound of nothing at all
Could put a smile on their face

But for reasons unknown
Some people can't be quiet
It's like they have to hear the noise
That one would hear from a riot

They need to learn to sit and relax
Just think quietly to themselves
They would fine the kind of riches
That come without needing wealth
