Meaningless words
When truth is denied,
Facts disavowed,
When up is down,
Wrong is right,
Words become holey buckets
Shot with AR-15s;
Our words spill like blood
From the wounds of children.

I was always a writer but lived in a bookkeeper’s body before I found Medium and broke free — well, almost. Working to work less and write more.
