Words lost all meaning
Ears sealed and mind shut. Hear not...
Listen not... Just sing!
A truth avoided
a resolution denied
"Disaster Ahead"
Lingering ringing
vociferous aftershock
white noise is noise too.
Silence... Naturally.
Postwar, sift through cinders for
new meanings in words.
Flippant Don here Mae
Tra la la la la la la
All sing tra la la
You did say ...."Listen not... Just sing!"
You trying to egg me on?
Thalia's laughing. Says go Don.....?

I love this Mae. I'm not sure if I fully get the meaning as you intended, but I can relate to the spirit if wilful ignorance, of the shutting down of advice, and the avoidance of truth. A big story told skilfully in a few lines. Well done.
Your skill with Haiku,
Is perfectly balanced Mae,
Well done my dear friend.

Hi all! Thank you for liking and commenting!
Don,
Well, if Thalia says...! Always fancy finding your verses on my comment section! They brighten up the place! Thank you ?
Kate,
It started out as the display of a defense mechanism to a hypothetical nonsensical outburst amidst an arguement. In such cases people say absurd things they don't mean and some not so absurd that you don't want to hear!
The latter made me realize, after I had written the first verse, that this defence mechanism might not be exactly sound!
So I continued with what I thought would happen if we all shut our ears every time we had to face rough stuff, whether it's a flood of noesense amidst a fit of wrath or a harsh truth.
Eventually you have to face facts. And when you abruptly open your ears after a long period of utter deafness everything sounds extremely loud. Hence the ringing in your ears, the aftershock of hearing the truth outright.
Silence is a form of denial and another defense mechanism.
In the end of the argument, when things calm down you quietly pick up the pieces. Of all the things told some things were blown out of proportion, some things were meant to hurt and some were true. After things have been resolved there are no misunderstandings anymore. (Hopefully!) You know which word was empty of meaning and which should work as a wake up call.
Thanks for reading dear Kate!?
