"Like!"

To the young and enlightened my age is a pain,
With no understanding, I`m driven insane!
Using words out of context again and again!
Bombarded I am helpless as I listen in vain.

Like its like this, like if you know like,like you know.
It`s so like, unbelievable like, like really, you know!
I don`t like, I`m not like, I`ve never liked, I don`t know!
Why you like, so many like,"like," unbelievably so!

I sit on the train and the words fill my ears.
The lack of expression is enough for tears!
The beauty of language is on repeat,
No longer flowing just constant bleat!

Harrassing my senses, bending my ears.
Beautiful language laid down over years.
A tool box of expression, an orators delight,
Wiped off the earth and destroyed over night!

Stuck broken records bump, in repetitive groove.
Literary travesty, prevails, with nothing to prove.
No one reaching, to creation, inspiration,or skies,
Just endlessly spewing, a languid painful demise.

Ban this verbosity of screeching, this tinnitus hell!
Be kind to my ears, and language I know so well.
Swat these gnats buzzing with verbal suppression!
Somebody save me, from a language depression!
