Your Awareness

Are you listening to the air
The wind beneath the tress
Are you aware of the beauty
As you feel the silent breeze

Are you listening to the screams
The children all in pain
Can you feel the merging darkness
As you walk amongst the rain

Are you listening to the cries
Of all the people in despair
Can you feel all of their hunger
Did you ever really care?

Are you listening to the sounds
All the voices of this life
Can you hear the people calling
Or did your awareness die?
