Monotony

Monotony
The lagging footfalls
Of a tired rhythm
Aimless obedience
In the name of progress
Monotony
When only the echo remains
Of will and determination
In blunted minds
And numbed souls
Monotony
A dismal cadence
Reverberating evermore
Masking a theft
Of dreams
Monotony
The life-blood of a world
Through the ages and beyond
Who can speak to purpose?
Save those who lead the march?
