I Hear The Static Like It's Feedback Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I hear the static like it's feedback.
'I hear the static like it's feedback.'
And it's coming in both ears.
I hear the static like it's feedback.
'I hear the static like it's feedback.'
I here this static like it's feedback,
And I...
Hear it loud and clear.

There are people,
Out of mind and out of time...
People,
Looking back and trying to find...
People,
To get involved.
People,
With their problems solve...
People,
Who can attract...
The eyes, the head, the ears, the arms,
Kissing lips that give it back.

But...
They don't want to give up,
Anything that they've got to give...
To get it.
What it is they wish and dream.
To give it up to give.

No they...
They don't want to give up,
Anything that they've got to give...
To get it.
What it is their purpose 'is'.

I hear the static like it's feedback.
And it's coming in both ears.
I hear the static like it's feedback.
And I hear it loud and clear.
But...
People want what they claim,
But not to give what it is.
But...
People want what they claim,
But not to give what it is,
To get it.

I hear the static like it's feedback.
'I hear the static like it's feedback.'
I hear the static like it's feedback.
'I hear the static like it's feedback.'

But...
People want what they claim,
But not to give.
'I hear the static.'
But...
People want what they claim,
But not to give.
'I hear the static.'
But...
People want what they claim,
But not to give.
'I hear the static.'

I hear the static like it's feedback.

'People wanting what they want.'

I hear the static like it's feedback.

'People wanting what they want.'

I hear the static like it's feedback.

'People wanting what they want.'

I hear the static.
And feed it back.

If people want to share their pains,
They get that right back.
And if people want to share their sorrows,
They get that right back.
If people want to share their pains,
They get that right back.
And if people want to share their sorrows,
They get that right back.
And...
If the people want to share their pains,
They get that right back.
And if the people want to share their sorrows,
They get that right back.
And if the people want to share their pains,
They get that right back.
And if the people want to share their sorrows,
They get that right back.
