A Simple Word Poem by chad fisher

Is it necessary to overdo our gestures or speak in lavish prose?
Do you really think it is better to comminicuate in a manner in which not one person knows?
For is more often understood the actions and words that are purely simple and normal,
Than those called for during elite gatherings of those who pose as formal.
For it hath been said that a man alone with a gentle word
Is more precious than a gathering of a slanderous herd.
The words you use may be a cover up, a deception,
And though I should not hate, I can't await... until I attend your funeral's reception.
For then people will clearly understand every word you say, and every action you perform
And now without speaking you'll be performing a certain action for a dead man, which in a certain lingo is what is known as the 'norm.'
