Hear, See, Speak

I can't hear much anymore

A whisper is lost to me

It fades in the air

A person's words don't mean a thing

I cannot comprehend 'em anyways

A bomb can explode

Won't mean anything to my mind

And if our world exploded

And shut everything away

I wouldn't hear it, at any time of day

Those blind people cannot see

They can touch and they can sense

But a man's eye they cannot stare into

A woman's beauty they cannot get to know

The roaring jealous they can only guess

A person's anger they can only predict 

Darkness they see

But cannot know

They can feel just about anything

But cannot describe a thing

The other's cannot speak

Left listening to the cannons

Left seeing the dead

No word to utter, no scream to shout 

No whimper to cry out

They see destruction and loss of humanity

They see the world become lopsided

Nonce of their dreams seem to come true

But there is nothing they can do

Just stay standing and keep watching
