Listen

I wrote this in Chemistry a couple days ago. While the original reason behind me writing it was to make a parody of my Chemistry class, it ended up having a deeper meaning. It ended up being a definition, partially, of the human condition.


A non-melodic rasp. A melody of clashing notes. The sound of silence, words being pronounced with no meaning. Sound, going and going. No one listens, yet they all hear it. They refuse to listen to this song. A jamble of notes without a scale. A rythm in the minor key of H. Sung in treble-bass Clef on a non-distorted Harp. We hear what we hear, but never listen to it. See what we see, but don't examine. This is the failure of Humanity.


"And the King will say, 'I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these, my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!' " -Matthew 25:40
