Trainwreck of Words

Words can be like a Trainwreck Headed nowhere and everywhere all at once They can appear to be traveling somewhere But it is a destination that they lack. Words that earlier and previously Seemed to have been on track Can be derailed easily by their inuendos And the truthful meanings that they lack. They can be like an approaching storm The calm before the fall Some words make no sense to me No sense to me at all. I try to grasp at their meanings I try to see where their meaning lies These words are hidden in sheep's clothing Just a verbose pack of lies. As I read these words over and over again I try to begin to see some meaning and some light But all I see is darkness For the nonsenseical I have no insight. These words are like a broken record Like a dog that has no bone A sail that has no winds to sail A house that is not a home. A bird trying to fly on broken wings A puppet that has no strings A voice that can no longer or sing In these words I can see no meaning. Words can be hidden in sheep's clothing There is a wolf that is hidden within And that is where the danger lies The danger lies in the meaning that is hidden within. The Danger lies in the apple The danger lies in its core It looks harmless from the outside But once bitten you are changed forevermore. So beware of the nonsenseical beware of words with no apparent meaning These words were meant to set you up To trap you in their unthinkings. I can't even think about them anymore These words that are causing me so much angst I am not even going to waste a thought I am going to forget about them post haste.
