-Hollow Words, Hollow Men
They say people like us
are lazy,
convoluted,
dilusioned,
*******,
useless,
invaluable,
that­ we will not go anywhere.
But, what deftly matters
is you
and i
and us
and maybe nobody at all.
And yet, the words that appear,
they flock to our ears
like so many geese
on a hot summer's day
or a array of battleships preparing
for an artillery barrage
on our inner inhibitions
and yet they still mean nothing;
not to anyone
nobody but themselves
because
if you look deep inside
truly
all that matters is in the self.
