Why do you listen
Why do you listen?
Is it because the meaning behind my words are sensible?
Or mearly because you enjoy the instruments they play even if they're entirely non-sensicle?
But pay no mind to those questions,
After all my verse is free only so you find your own way over, around or through it?
It is no business of mine to ask you weather or not this poem is fluid,
I'm just...but a poet...the messenger...
This poem is addressed to you and only you,
and i am to know nothing about it but...
I cannot truthfully say I lose no sleep from curiosity,
But like sheep, I am to follow and not question,
and question i will not...
but feel free to answer.
why do you listen?...
Why do your eyes glissen?
what makes your heart race?
what makes your heart stop? or rather...
Why don't you listen?
What makes you fume with rage?
what makes you spit on the page?
what makes you frown?
what makes you yawn?...
yes...i know...i know i can't make you smile all the time
and my rockstar sounds like church hymn sometimes...ok maybe all the time but...
all my rambling, is defined by a burning question,
typical in a poet's mind,
and if you can't answer that...
answer this...
why did you listen?
