Barely heard

We...hear what we want to hear.

 

                A silent little cry

Barely heard in the distance

Of life for the busy man

The hustle and bustle, are steady

Like a song…     

The lack of compassion for others

~is wrong

                Quiet the sounds of greed, anger, and contention

Feel the hunger, and lack

Of the little ones not mentioned

…living on the streets, with a sister, and strife

                                And no Mother…

Or Father to make a life…

…for the silent little cry,

                Barely heard in the distance.

I have a soft place in my heart for this subject. I love how you describe their voice
and the attention we as a whole society show them as
"A silent little cry barely heard in the distance"
I feel like that's dead true!

"The hustle and bustle, are steady
Like a song�
The lack of compassion for others
~is wrong
Quiet the sounds of greed, anger, and contention
Feel the hunger, and lack of the little ones not mentioned"

These lines were beautiful and well put inside this piece.
You captured the mood and the emotion of this matter perfectly!

Beautiful song here. I can hear Marvin Gaye or Bob Marley singing it. Kudos
