If Janus Could Talk, He Would Sound Like...Us
Mouths are not used for communication.
Rather they add to all frustrations,
Allowing lies, guile, and machinations.
If man had a trunk to trumpet a warning,
‘Twould be better served than a tongue used for spurning.
A narrow proboscis for nutrients to ****,
More useful than lips that spew only muck.
The double-speak game is one that must stop,
Before all good words are spun into rot.
Mouths are ridiculous adaptations,
That enable ridiculously false orations,
Telling us all we need is communication.
