Words Have Meaning

So easily consumed…

Books of words.

Words Have Meaning

Labels of all shapes and sizes
Some large, some small
So full of words
So full of meaning?

Papers, magazines, books, bottles, cans
Some large, some small
So full of words
So full of meaning?

Media screens of all shapes and sizes
Some large, some small
So full of words
So full of meaning?

Words of all shapes and sizes
Some large, some small
What are all those words?
Are they so full of meaning?

So easily consumed
But never questioned
Could these words all mislead?
Have no meaning?

Lazy minds
Too busy to be inconvenienced
Facts are no longer necessary
Just an inconvenience

Minds wasted
Never challenged
Not able to question
After all, seeking the truth makes work

When the bills of the future come due
Will the truth be known?
Can the truth be recognized?
Can the truth be told?

False words in space wasted
Words misleading, intended to do so
Slowly transformed to have no meaning
Forever lost in wasted space

Easier to accept what is said
Easier to accept what is written
False words with no meaning
Taking up the wasted space of today’s future
