Breathe Take a break from thoughtless drivel Asinine opinions A plague on thoughtful rhetoric We have all succumbed Our every word is superficial And every judgment Is selfish in its intent Which is better? Which is worse? Which am I? What is expected? What is believed? Where do I stand now? Wipe your mind Clear your throat and Speak The mindless chatter of bored souls The endless search for self-fulfillment Through compare and contrast conversations Condescension and condemnation rampant We have learned discourse as a formula Repeatedly offering opinions of no consequence To fill every spare moment with an assertion Of one's own existence All to find relevance In a world without meaning Wipe your mind Clear your throat and Speak
