The Mute Singer! Poem by Bakare Oluwagbenga Michael

The Mute Singer!
-
Deep down in his heart came a voice;
A voice one could call every ear's choice.

He wishes to let it out for the world to hear;
But all he could make the world hear is his fear.

He dances heartily to the song in his heart;
But the world only sees madness as his art.

They could not hear the song he dances to;
All they see is a mad man sweeping with his toe.

The world is too noisy for him to be heard;
So the songs in his soul will pass unheard...
