Listen and Pay Attention

Hear me, Hear me.
Are you even listening?
Look at me, Look at me.
Are you paying attention.
Yes, we can hear you.
Yes, we are paying attention.
But are you?
We call out hear me.
Do you hear our calls?
We beg to be seen.
Do you see us at all?
No, you don’t hear us.
No, you don’t see us.
Well, we are going to change that.
Hear us, Hear us
Hear us now?
Do you see us as we stand our ground?
Yes, you can hear us.
Yes, you can see us.
But what about listening and not just hearing?
How about paying attention and not just seeing?
We listen and pay attention.
So why don’t you?
