I listen and wait for a word to sound
but it seems the volume is turned down.

I stand at attention waiting for that voice
but it never came to guide me to the right choice.

I try to hear through the deafening tone of silence
but the only thing I hear, is death and violence.

You know, maybe it is time to change the station and listen for, and to, something else.  The choice really is yours and there is a lot of beauty in the world.  Just a thought, you know.

Don't squander life on waiting.

The "voice" is inside you, sometimes the noise from outside keeps you from hearing it. Your poetry makes me think you will find it.

I have had the same thing!-- writing a poem that just comes from the hand of the poet, not even knowing what you are writing!

Very interesting huh?
