Words At Work

Words are deftly deployed
to dissimulate and deny;
to dissent... to disseminate
duplicity of descriptions.

Words are carefully contrived
to despise, discriminate, and deprive;
they're criminally conscripted
to connect confusions to complexities.

Words may wear wisdom, woefully,
in this weary weather of wasted winds,
of mean and messy memories
of murky manoeuvres and manipulations.

Words are sacred sermons, sometimes,
preached piously to the piety-prone
perched precariously between the two worlds.
In the trying times, these words become
humble homilies to faithful families
holding on to their concise conscience.

Words are questions, perhaps,
in quest of more
and still more words...

Answers are always aloof
and away from words...
They are softly silent
like Peace, Love and Death.
