Talk Is Cheap

Talk is cheap That’s what they say Say what you mean And mean what you say. Words of wisdom For what they’re worth May or may not ring true. Verbiage can appear as anything Close or far from fact One has to listen carefully To be able to discern the truth. Words can say anything Anything at all Words can act as high fences between Or they can be the bricks Building up broken walls. Words, just like people Can appear to have no meaning They can leave the versions of their truer selves Largely left unseen. The higher words appear to fly The farther their meanings may fall One should always read words with caution And carefully read between the lines That’s the only way to know If it’s true words That one is hearing By the author's own design.
