Poem: It's Too Much Effort

A broken clock
is right twice a day
A broken record
plays the same thing over and over
But eventually what is ruined
just becomes background noise
it is comforting
until it finally runs down
into silence
and only then it is missed.

It's just easier to leave it alone
Not worth the effort to fix
or even pitch into the bin.
Laziness turns to apathy
unless there is concrete results
a motivation to change
but comfort finally wins out
and any progress grinds to a halt
because it's too much effort
to keep up with change.
