Language and Truth

Mealy meandering messages
Masking meaning
Enigmatic essences
Their conveyance
Couched in ambiguity
Florid and flowery
But inevitably
Lacking outright
Surety.

Aesthetically
Pleasing
But fundamentally
Flawed.

Of calculated quality
Undoubtedly,
But ultimately
Lacking honesty,
Integrity,
Candour concealed
In monochrome image
Craving colour.

Give me strong.
Strong images.
Strong words.
And, yes
Strong actions
That belong
To what is real
What is honest
That speak.
That strut.
