Quatrain of Listening Right

Listening Right - there is none

You may have the right to speak,
but you don't have the
right to actually be
heard,

In fact, the sound you produce
often shuts ears, stopping
entry of every
word.

So, speak all you wish, no one is
paying attention, your
thoughts are truly
drifting off,

The right to speak merely makes
you feel good, those
listening are likely
to scoff.
