An ear for silent voices

An ear for silent voices
The words they hear
And random things recorded
That we endear

These random things recorded
The go-go years
The ghosts and benedictions
Entrepreneurs

The ghosts and benedictions
Evolutionary spark
The hydrogen and helium
Exploding in the dark

From hydrogen and helium
To incandescent gas
And long lost in the limelight
The souls that came to pass

Long lost like limelight
Poisoned by the tide
Of our three minute culture
Love's young dream died

In our three minute culture
Infertility
No ears for silent voices
And all they can set free
