Existential-Anacusis...

Sonorous sounds fell on deaf ears
Then horrid howls drowned them out

Now hearing is a hardship
and listening is a listless lament

The world's ears are in a state
of existential-anacusis
Where it's nearly impossible
 to hear anything inspiring
and even more impossible
 to tune out the terrible timbres
   without entering into auditory-oblivion

The sounds of life
have been diminished
to marching doldrums,
 anthems for anthropomorphism,
  and desecrated dirges for human dignity

The ears for exalted existence
have been bombarded with blasts
 of buffoons, blabbering about banality
  of degenerates, deifying degredation
    of ignorant invocations of insipid improprieties

Terrestrial tinnitis muffles the
majestic musings of modern magi
and there's nothing more than a ringing
of what was once heard singing


For sonorous sounds fell on deaf ears
and horrid howls drowned them out
So hearing is now a hardship
and listening is a listless lament

Well,
for everyone still trying to listen
for everyone still daring to hear
 This lament is just for you
 to play and play again
  or to turn a deaf-ear to
  as you listen for the end
