To Foolish Words, Deaf Ears (Turn a Deaf Ear)

This poem belongs to Chapter 2: Latin American Popular Sayings with a Soulful Adaptation. (When wisdom teaches you to silence the noise of ignorance.)

By Liora Vogel Published 6 months ago 1 min read

There are voices that don’t deserve an echo,

opinions born from lack

disguised as absolute truths.

They watch you. They mock.

Speak from scarcity

and believe what they don’t have

is a universal lack.

But just because the fool hasn’t known joy

doesn’t mean you don’t live from it.

Just because they lack clear purpose

doesn’t mean your flame isn’t burning.

Just because they dwell in shadows

doesn’t mean you live in that primitive corner too.

Judgment says nothing about you,

it only exposes the one who casts it.

Only a wise listener

can turn a deaf ear with wisdom.

Honor your truth

and let the fool speak from their limits.

Every soul has its time in this life.

That doesn’t make you superior,

nor should you waste your energy

on those who don’t yet vibrate as you do.

Simply be grateful

you live on another frequency,

receiving what the fool

can’t even dream of having.

Because a fool never thinks with their soul.

They don’t have that capacity yet.

You know who you are,

while they’re just guessing

from their fragile house of cards,

built with fear, lack,

and truths imposed by the system.

And while you see purpose

in every step you take,

they keep counting money

while you count truths.

They live in that fragile castle,

where criticism hurts their ego.

They can’t tolerate truths

that don’t fit into their limited understanding.

They tend to be aggressive

because they don’t know how to defend

the unconscious lie they live in.

But your inner voice

doesn’t need words to prove what you already are.

It speaks in deeds,

and it speaks so loud,

that not even fools

can turn a deaf ear to your reality.
