Grey Word Tune-Outs



When the way is dreary days
and everything fades away...

When the walk is not really there
and the voices speak of grey...

When the tune is Oft repeated
Aendless boredoms, endless fray

Ever yon, ever yon... What are
Athese species of words without

Dope, with grey sprinkled through-
Out like drought seeping the heart

About this poem

religion can bore your socks off (no pun), and greatly, greatly depress the reader with endless repeating of sad sad things fallen down and no hope (disclaimer: this poem description is not related to this poetry site, but elsewhere... ).
