Listen to me

Listen to me

Please listen to me

I’ve got nothing to say

Except inanities

I’m a voice in the ether

A name on the box

I’m talking pure drivel

They call it bollocks

I command your attention

I’m demanding your time

Broadbanding you senseless

Numbing your mind

What you think about me

I couldn’t care less

If I make you ecstatic

Or bring you distress

You can try to ignore me

I won’t make a fuss

Because I’m not alone

There are millions of us

I prattle regardless

Year upon year

I want you to listen

I don’t care if you hear
