The Auditorium

Vast

Empty

when it’s full

of hollow people

auditory dissonance

Hear what we want

Selective

Echoes bounce

Off wooden floors

solid as any foundation

Built on sand

On the podium

innaccuracies

polished floors

false shine

The soulless

sycophants make

ill wishes

Karmic answers

thoughtless words

rhetorical responses

filled with doubt

Chamber of echoes

peripheral souls

stirring

irrationally within

the auditorium
