The Repetition


 

Repetition, repetition

Creating the condition 

Which will keep you where you are.

A slowly fading star.

 

It has no motivation.

The process of creation

Which repeats and defeats.

Monotonous beats.

 

Droning on and on.

Long after you are gone,

Effecting countless others.

Twin sisters and twin brothers. 

 

Drilled into your head,

Repeating what is said,

Rotting from the inside.

Dripping with formaldehyde. 

 

Curtains close around you.

Not much is left in clear view.

But break the repetition and you

Might 

Just 

Save 

Your 

Life
