Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri
Scream With No Meanings
The louder the voice
The more shallow lies the complaint
The more erratic the gesture
The more meaningless the action
I try to counteract the
screams with serenity
The wildness with solidity
But I lose to louder voices
Until I raise my own
Communication with
stubborn conceits
yeilds no fruit
Nothing is accomplished
No one listens
I hear the loud voices
but I find them difficult to understand.
