The Bards` Burden

<br>In the madness of day we scream<br>Yet no matter how loud<br>One can never surpass the din<br>Of the roaring crowd<br><br>In the dead of night we weep<br>Yet even then no one will hear<br>For all are too asleep<br>To notice our tears<br><br>So we turn our pain into song<br>To touch their hearts<br>Yet it`s not until long<br>After we depart<br>That any among<br>Them acknowledges our art
