The Noise, Poem by Egwuatu Ogechukwu Peace
The Noise Like thunder roaring and turbulent waves crashing against each otherSo is the noise around meA million…
Like thunder roaring and turbulent waves crashing against each other
So is the noise around me
A million voices raised above normal
Loud stereos booming
noise or music, I am unable to tell
How can you hear yourself amidst all this noise?
I can’t hear the voices in my mind
I can’t think
All I hear is the pounding of my head
A staccato beat that’s frayed by interference
And my mind clamouring for quiet,
Teeters dangerously on the edge of insanity
