A Poem by R.K. Hughes
"

I feel like an alternate title for this one could be "Clockwork"

"

repeat the words

praised

i dont understand them

it doesnt really matter

 

if i stay in line

if i repeat

repeat

repeat

repeat

repeat

 

whats in front of me

I will be

praised

 

i copy what's in front of me

praised

do they understand the words

it doesnt really matter

 

if they stay in line

and repeat

repeat

repeat

repeat

repeat

 

what's in front of them

and are praised for it

 

but what about the very first person?

did they, do they

understand the words?

and if they dont

 

why are any of us still even here

and why

are we being

praised
