A simple poem about being heard beyond all others.

-Make A Sound-
by
Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


Be heard
Be absurd
Let em know
Give it hell
Tear it all down
Build it back up
Tear it all down again
Whatever it takes
Have no regrets
Not a damn one
Make a sound
Be understood
Use your voice
Use your words
Kick God in the teeth
Slap Jesus in the face
Dare not seek forgiveness
Stand your ground
Don’t you dare back down
Freewill is our only true king
Print that on a t-shirt
Or tattoo it across your ass
The medium matters none
Get others to listen
If you must burn down the town
Lay waste to the city
Decimate the countryside
Whatever it takes
Let it all become your way
Make a sound
Then be quite proud
Of what such a sound means
Know that it will carry
Across all far and wide
Suckers turned chumps
And then back again
Will hear it loud and clear
They will react
Reaction is everything
In such a world of distraction
They will know what to do
And if they don’t
Then at some point
They will be left behind
Out in the cold
To fend for themselves like wolves
With no teeth
Or humans without dreams
Incapable many may seem
But certainly not you
Make a sound
And be heard…
