Analysis of Grey Word Tune-Outs
When the way is dreary days
and everything fades away...
When the walk is not really there
and the voices speak of grey...
When the tune is Oft repeated
Aendless boredoms, endless fray
Ever yon, ever yon... What are
Athese species of words without
Dope, with grey sprinkled through-
Out like drought seeping the heart

About this poem
religion can bore your socks off (no pun), and greatly, greatly depress the reader with endless repeating of sad sad things fallen down and no hope (disclaimer: this poem description is not related to this poetry site, but elsewhere... ).
