Is anyone listening?

What a wondrous oddity,
Secret words spoken to secret friends
A quiet joy unshared,
Sparing the audience of one.

What wondrous magic
Fashioned into a common novelty
Manufactured for the millions
Caterwauling into the void.

What a wondrous vandalism
Of age old musings and ruminations
Spawned, spit out, and put on display
All in imploration, “Is anyone listening?”

What wondrous revolution,
Hidden voices once silent
Now appear to be universal
Par for the course, collective and conventional.

What a wondrous twist,
Louder declarations only revealing
Paragons like gold dust
Undeterred by popinjays and peacocks.
