preoccupied.

unavailable.

agenda –

over-full…

it seems we simply exist –

to exist.

black and white priorities muted to obligations of grey.

we enter auditoriums of suppose,

yet exit before encores of know.

ignorant to ownership of capability –

obtusely self-absorbed!

with characters flawed from addictions to same,

we fall in line –

paupers by convenience –

reciting litany’s to camouflage our disdain.

and yet,

when offered avenues of alteration,

deny with apoplectic revulsion

accommodation to insinuation of refrain.

obedient, we have become,

to complacency.

prisoners to indifference –

unaware we hold keys

to the locks of our self-imposed commonality...
