Shouting

I am shouting soundlessly
are you listening?

My shouting is not to let you listen
Do you listen my shouting?

You are shouting loudly
am I listening?

Your shouting is let me listen
I listen your shouting really!

"If you are trying to transform a brutalized society into one where people can live in dignity and hope, you begin with the empowering of the most powerless. You build from the ground up."
