God gave us mouths that shut
And ears that be open
This should notify us something
Sadly tons impulsively lonesome bring
Their opinions and remarks to the table
It seems in respect to listening
Humanity is supreme unable
At smallest possible repeatedly completely unwilling
Why is it we essential always yak active our thing
Speaking simply give or take a few us and our wants
Such national impertinence despises and taunts
Occasionally at the end of the linguistic unit even haunts
The entity smitten next to themselves in self-absorption
Grossly lacking knowingness and accomplishment in communication
Such an way of thinking to group assures one of isolation
As human being just garbed up in yourself tends toward alienation
The key to note is listening
Without which voice communication becomes aggravating
Interacting with one prone to interpose you is irritating
Blatant disregard to what you want to say is excruciating
Difficult to suffer indeed, as you go unhearable when you plead
Trying to get a declaration in edgewise
Apparently anything you say the gregarious does despise
As they try to elevate themselves and self-actualize
Hoping to prevail the oral communication and peradventure realize
Some even of self-importance
While accomplishing relationally a greater distance
Most commonly unbeknown to them
As in their consciousness one and all is their friend
Most of all nevertheless they are in love next to self
This is the motivation they are incapable of audible range someone else
Being the recipient, on the other end of such as communication
What much can you do than grin and wonderment why
Of trajectory you can calm down and pacify
The self-centered gibberish
Being pleasant considering their tendency
Toward pretence or possibly secret insecurity
Nevertheless having to allow a big mouth
Being bulldozed complete by a pushy person
Who hears just what they have to say
There are solely cardinal options
Yield, put up with up to them, or transfer them out of your way
Of those cardinal choices, I optimism you gross the best today
Dealing near people humanely requires patience
Unrepentant, recite offenders necessity your resilience
Your skill to grant and forget is your brilliance
Though the big oral cavity doesn't see or realize it
Seemingly frequently taking plus of and misusing it
Incessantly repeating the behaviour and not appreciating
Your total be keen on from which they've been deviating
For God's kindness toward them we essential earnestly pray
God's mercies and saving grace are new all day
Using your ears requires a exercise of the heart
Educated idiots in that department aren't always so smart
Others have grown up the eldest youngster someone magisterial to others
They you essential inform you aren't their sis or brother
Masterful manipulators come up with another bag of tricks
Playing on emotions, persuading done sympathy and provoked fits
Be strapping my friend, don't endow with in to it
Be unwavering and stomach your ground
Be absolve and dead in the address that you sound
Vocalize your let-down and downright displeasure
Just because you comprehend amended near your ears
Certainly does not product you any lesser
If necessary, twist away from the unruly bantering
Give them the accident to detect act involves attentive.
Make an allure for the swarming to sign up their ears
Lest they one day up unsocial beside thought stuffed of body process.
Harness your glossa nowadays and alter your ears
Turn unhappiness and emotion into appreciative cheers.
Listening builds relative harry bridges that will conjure you for geezerhood.
