Louder

Life just keeps getting louder
The ever present noise and 
Scream of the people on
The street like a never ending

Wave of sound that consumes
Us with its ear quacking roar
Making it harder to hear 
Ourselves and making it

That much harder to hear
And understand others as
Well because we live in a 
Cacophony of people

So loud in their own 
Thoughts and so lost
In their own heads that
They can't see our hear

Anyone else in front 
Of themselves anymore
Its very easy to get caught
In the loudness and the

Chaotic roar of the world
What we need to do is to
Slow down and listen to
Each other and actually

Be quiet for a change and
Actually listen to ourselves
And listen to the Earth
And listen to each other

Take the time to be still
Take the time to know
Your fellow neighbor
Take the time to find 

That inner calm that
Comes from sitting
Inside yourself and
Taking the time to

Truly find out what's
Inside and once you
Do you will find a 
Whole new way of

Thinking and a whole
New brighter and better
World than what we have
You just have to be quiet

If you be still and calm
And let the noise of the 
Day wash over you like
Water flowing in a river

You will find an inner
Happiness and peace
That you have never 
Found before and as

You begin to find that
Peace in yourself you
Can begin to share 
That peace with others

Until the peace and love
In your heart continues 
To grow as you begin
To let love and peace rule
