A Captive Uncaptivated Audience

Lock the doors keep them in, Throw away the keys. The minutes crawl the hours drag, It seems like centuries. This auditorium this lecture theatre, Feels like a prison cell. One sat here and another over there, A social distanced hell. Do this do that! Do this do that! Broadsided in each face. We are learning absolutely nothing, A sham and utter disgrace. Endless speaker after endless speaker, Down loads chapter and verse. An audience losing the will to live, Phoning for a local hearse. Each so called speaker a cold automaton. With no greeting smile. Dear God at least try to act human, At least once in a while. We're surely receive a comfort break, To escape once and for all. But no! They carry on and on and...on, With their deliberate drawl. Finally we discover there is a God, As the last speaker walks away. Then we're all cruelly reminded, To be continued the next day.
