Poetic Podcast Episode 1

It would be completely absurd  
to waste time with what you’ve already heard;
You listen harder when I scream every word 
In one ear,  now the past;

Maybe with my voice in your ear
you’ll finally listen, you’ll finally hear 
before everything starts to disappear;
Now I get to talk this is my podcast;
 
I got smart while you were staying static;
Seeking intricate patterns, I’m done with basic;
Greased up lines, I’m more charismatic,
let’s put the ‘phony’ on blast.

Now I’m on the air, starting a wave,
We do not need more of the same;
Join me, say what you need to say,
Ideas will spark if we hold fast.

Remember my name and the voice 
this is not a game or some kind of ploy,
I want to cut through all the noise, 
this message won’t be my last.

"We do not need more of the same." God! Your writing is fabulous. It uses normal, everyday language and just turns into a complex masterpiece. I love the idea of seeking something new and not just following a previously drawn-out pattern of life. Everybody is unique and has their own voice, and your poem captures this idea so well.
