superficial greetings!

superficial greetings!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Lost are the words
That carry no meaning
Shallow in depth
No promises.

Brush strokes, light
Patronizingly high
On emotion's ears
They fly forgotten.

Blown in the wind.
Lost without substance;
Light are the footprints
Of words not heavy.

Superficial in thought;
Plastic, cast adrift
Set free, afar, away
That contaminate the mind.

Insulting the impression
Given, no expression
Forgettable the words
Shallow tones spoken.

a perfect description in metaphor of those superficial greetings... they are meaningless, patronizing, superficial, insulting, and carry no weight... well-said, my friend
