alter silence

Melting to my seat

Staring at a screen

Brain cells exploding in misery

Prefer to set this building of articles on fire

Are actual paperbacks even read?

Obsolete weapon in the war of cyber knowledge

Forced to memorize words,

Lines of straight and curved little designs

That are supposedly the key

To intellectual increase.

So, please gently place the grenade

Upon my head,

As to not alter their silence.
