Maybe it’s training:
from parents into friends,
or does life’s raining
create these passive trends?

Is it a defense:
a way of screening,
or a fallback position
when the world robs your meaning?

Could you consider
that it’s just, intent,
to make your world configure
less troublesome by consent?

Is monotony a word
you’ve heard as a song,
on the edge of that moment
protracted too long.

A word like Bizarre
can imply so very much;
entertainment processions
to which you pronounce,
“Please do not touch!”

Is it a risk the chance that you take,
or be that moot in life’s application?
Is that something you wish for some hallowed sake,
formed of objective importance without consternation?

Is an act of violence
an excuse for the same?
Or is it an example
of justified blame?
