MEANING

MEANING Can meanings of words run out A bit like when a battery is low No longer quite able to sustain The punch we’ve come to know Now, like a devalued currency Almost worthless copper coins Once proud, yet now destitute As the sad queue it finally joins Maybe love is now such a word Of deep feeling, a pale reflection Once was used, but now abused Unworthy of much introspection It doesn’t even feel like evolution As words get replaced by others It is like a weakening generation Always hiding under the covers A subtle trend, but all’s not lost If we might alter our behaviours Trying more speech and singing Could poets now be our saviours
