Karaoke Silence

Karaoke Silence

A Poem by Gee Bee

Before midnight and dawn
I huddle in bed
Thinking 
"The neighbors are so noisy"
with their loud music and singing

Welcome to the Philippines,
as one would say
where singing karaoke
was as normal
as corruption and heavy traffic

But the darkness isn't as welcoming
because I have come to the point
where I would rather hear
annoying pop songs
and poorly sang classics
than to wallow
in the silence 
of my room
