Words, words, words,
See how the meaning of a word
can lose its meaning
after a course threes–
trees are the source of our Socrates,
our narcissistic and common-man-oriented Whitman,
it was the physical that allowed us to
become metaphysical and progressive in
our diverse mindsets–
it gave us innovations for drastic change
and for freedom–
as ink meets paper daily–
the common man can become extraordinary.
But words have become cheapened–
the secondhand couch that no one ever wants–
words have become broken and abbreviated,
easily disregarded and dismissed
without a hello or a passing thought favorite or like–
unless, unless, unless
Your words are backed up
with suave sophistication and easy elegance;
the type of professional jargon
that stifles and harms; mocks and jeers
as you stare downcast
holding the .99 cent pen and $1.99
Composition notebook.
…
Write for arts sake!
As the greats say, decree–
Words without true meaning
is a waste of American time
and Chinese money–
a dull billboard on a deserted highway–
now that is a waste!
Wasting a person’s precious time,
especially an American who works
nine-to-five who makes $50,000 a year
and has barely any vacation days–
so anytime you pick up a pen,
whether it may be made of gold or plastic,
write with your heart & soul; your
media-posioned mind, slowly but surely
chugging along to catch up.
