Words
Words recycled reused and destroyed,
Words that mean nothing like happy and joy,
Words that are borrowed for this and that,
Their meanings deflated and they become flat,
Words that are vulgar we fire around,
When used harshly bring even the strongest man down,
Words that tell stories we'd rather forger,
Words we purge when we should digress,
Words that spark riots,
Words that spark wars,
Words written in blood,
Words misheard,
Words with histories predating our own,
Their meanings evolving not written in stone,
But words are just letters in alphabet soup,
They float around here and there,
But they are neither here nor there.
