| These two pictures were shared by three young persons who I met while dining at a restaurant. They were on their way back to Boston from Baltimore where they joined the demonstration. |
Are You Listening?
Are you listening?
Is it with your mind
Which can be blind
Is it open or is it shut
Where is your heart
That can make us feel the hurt
That creates between us so much space
And so much menace
Can you feel the pain intertwined
In the message between the lines
Is your call for justice and the law
Tempered by mercy for the hearts to thaw
Are you longing
In your listening
To hear their side with your mind and heart
Are you willing to feel their hurt
The message between the lines
That did not exist in our minds
That we did not hear and see
You and me
Our hearts were so deaf and blind
We did not care to mind.
Enjoyed this thank you for sharing
