Too Many Words

Too Many Words

A Poem by Wilyem Clark

Too many words and too few actions!
We hide ourselves in drizzly clouds,
Fog up our sunny day potentials--
Far easier to obfuscate,
For clarity harbingers resolution.
Liars and procrastinators
Permeate society,
Seek to silence earnest voices,
Long to stagnate polities.

Reality, the bitter truth,
Will bite dissemblers in the end.

Bean-hoarders suck on every seed;
They want all succulence for themselves.
Bean-hoarders have no intrinsic worth:
Possession is their only passion.

(The people tend to be impatient.
The people lack basic comprehension.
The people are susceptible
To bamboozlers, dolts, and frowny frauds.)

If only these recalcitrant slugs
Would turn their rhetorical weaponry
On campmates, we might recover from
This bane, this enduring leprosy.
