Banal

Every sound I hear
Seems to sound the same,
Every face I see
Seems the same to me,
Banal ...

Every book I've read
Says the same old thing.
Everything I've said
Has the same old ring.
Banal ...

I know you, You know me,
Talk about it,
Constantly ...
Sky of blue, sea of green,
Only fools harbour dreams ...

Everyone I meet
Hands me the same old line.
Buildings on the street
Display familiar signs.
Programmes on T.V.
Employ the same device.
Their warm humanity
Just leaves me cold as ice ...
Banal ...
