Can You Hear Me Now?

I was running low on creating new poems but this one came to me yesterday while I was going to the gym. I exercised my muscles and then I returned home to exercise my creativity.


Can You Hear Me Now?
By Larry Linville

He walks across your TV screen
With that nerdy little look.
“Can you hear me now? He asks.
“Good” he said and then he shook.

After seeing this ad a million times
I begin to really hate it.
Then I tried to find a helpful way
For me to relate it.

I wonder, when we go our way
At things we think so dear,
If God would like to talk to us
To see if we can hear?

God has spoken since early times
Through prophets and speakers galore.
But many of present day spokesmen
Say things we should ignore.

God gave his message in a book
We haven’t really read.
We may have perused his words
But not heard what he said.

I wonder how God feels today
As we run on a prowl?
You think he might be shouting
“Can you hear me now?”
