Revolution Poem by James Timothy Jarrett

Revolution

Rating: 5.0


I thought once that
I had the life

of a normal man

But events moved past me
Like freeway traffic

Fast and roaring
Massive in scale

Rush and noise
Night or day

Constant moving
Constant noise

But unnoticed

It became

the salve

to my sleep

Til' one day

I noticed

And heard the sound

And awoke to what was around me

And could no longer listen

The last four lines differentiate the process of listening and hearing. Though we hear, we have stopped listening! well done!
