Mindless Machines

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll


Do I need to blabber

Yes, if I want a happy family

Wise silence as preached

Will succeed in converting

Families to mindless machines


They who are respected

Keep silent within their walls

Conversation yields responses

Mostly stressful arguments

Yet I blabber - I have a mind


Nary a word escapes the wise

Lips shut yet brains shouting

The elite - the concrete dwellers

With modern beautiful exteriors

They're wise and lonely travellers

Wonderfully written. And it

Wonderfully written. And it brings to mind a piece I read which discussed how easy it had become for "the authors of history" to re-write it, because conversation is greatly in decline. As a result, neither elders are sharing their personal historical experiences nor are the young among us seeking those stories out.
