Unheard Voices

A Story by Lox
"

Scream with others! Let the noise overwhelm what you have to say!

"
"'Twas too loud to hear
Noise too loud, voice too silent
But the words were clear."

This is actually a beautiful haiku. I like it. However, and this is more for my critical thinking than it is for the flow of your poem.
Third line, "The"
It would be interesting to make a following haiku about what these words are. You are telling us something that is there, but not telling us what it is, so a follow haiku would be wise.
Also, 'The' What is the purpose of "The words" could you use something like, "Your words" 'thy words' its words' or even, 'their words?'
It still flows with the poem well, but gives the words more of an identity.

I imagine words so clearly etched that noise doesn't matter - the moment in discussion being beyond sound, even when life is shouting its loudest.
