Sickness falling all around
And no one notices because they don't notice the sound
A sneeze is a warning shot
letting you know it's coming
A cough to let you know it's almost there
Then it's to late your heads hot
your in intensive care
wondering how you got there

Different sicknesses fall all around
and we think they make no sound
we would be wrong
because the simple fact has been all along
we've never listened

And for those who do
whether it be me or you
keep trying to make others see
that sickness fall all around you and me [comments] => 3 [counter] => 223 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Voice of the Silent [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

This poem is more than true, it is

so esential, sorry for your pain, a

lovely style of writting fused with a

most sincere display of benevolant

conviction . . .

thank you also for your read,

it's not my usual but i'm in

some unexpected pain over

the loss of a dear home town

friend who died with out my

knowing it untill recently, first

time, i've ever written under the

influence, guess there's a first

time 4 every thing as they say,

thanks again, deeply appreciated.

an interesting write, stubborness is an age-old human disease it seems. people should not underestimate the power of male pride. it can be deadly.

wow, i hope he recovers okay
we never want to think
those warning signs
are ever that serious
a very enjoyable read
with so much truth
remember that your friends
are here listening
take care
smiles and hugs to you always
