My words splatter
On paper
Like rain on an empty field
Going everywhere
Nowhere in particular
What do these words mean?
Like rain on an empty field
Quenching thirst of the dried
But what purpose do these words serve?
Apart from offending
The innocent, the blind
How it all binds
Finds a new meaning
The words reveal
How we fell behind
How we once felt
Thought and met
How we went to war
And reinvented the wheel
Why we peeled
From our daily lives
The words reveal
How we got it horribly wrong
Totally out of song
How we failed to see what was there
And not there
The world is different
But the words,
They are the same
