(Silence)

This is the part where I’m supposed to say something meaningful;
Something wise and worth your time
But, to be quite honest,
I’ve got nothing to say.

(Silence)

I told them that I didn’t want to do this…
I warned them that I’d be wasting precious time,
But did they listen?

(Silence)*

Personally, I think that this is the perfect time to not say anything.
Not one person should be speaking, either from this platform or from the audience.
Why?
Well, what more is there to say, that hasn’t already been said –
Passed through one ear, and then got stuck in the junk section of our heads...

(Silence)

Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve proven time and time again,
That we know nothing – just as much as the dead.
So sit there and endure the silence,
For there’s nothing sensible left to be said.

*(Silence)
