Dead space traced to boredom. <br />And conversations with it, <br />Exchange this afterall. <br /> <br />Monotonous monologues, <br />Beating into the ground <br />With prolonged redundancy. <br />Make sense for many not to listen. <br />Or choose to fall to sleep. <br /> <br />Why do some people, <br />Keep repeating their limited philosophies? <br />It makes it pointless to disagree. <br />This fuels a uselessness that is abused... <br />And purposely used for one to be contrary. <br /> <br />With more than a bit, <br />Of surfaced contradiction added to the mix. <br />And a dipping of bait that is solicited with it. <br /> <br />Monotonous monologues, <br />Beating into the ground <br />With prolonged redundancy. <br />Make sense for many not to listen. <br />Or choose to fall to sleep. <br /> <br />Dead space traced to boredom. <br />And conversations with it, <br />Exchange this afterall. <br /> <br />As a drifting consciousness... <br />Shifts quickly into a daydream fix! <br />Assisted by a continuous drone. <br />That takes a place, <br />As a sound in the background. <br />To eventually go unknown. <br /> <br />'Excuse me? EXCUSE ME! <br />No need to look around! <br />Yes... <br />I am speaking to you. <br />I'd like to have everyone's 'full' attention, <br />Please? <br />Thank you! <br />Now... <br />As I was saying...'<br /><br />Lawrence S.
