People don’t listen anymore

People don’t listen anymore.
They just want to settle the score.

With their eyes on the floor.
You feel you’re a bore.

They really don’t listen.
Too obsessed with the frisson.

Of delight when they hear.
You’ve stopped speaking.

So they can start the self seeking
diatribes.

They subscribe to the notion
of pure self promotion.

No matter what you say.
They display.

No interest in anything
but themselves.

Learned to hear
but not to listen.

Just glisten with fear
as they snear at your words.
