Words Are Going Missing

Words are Going Missing Words are going missing……and no one seems to care!! Red lined!! Redacted!!! Clandestinely subtracted!! Their meanings have been undermined to alter documents - long signed cater to the lunacy that altered words will set us free. Words are being conjured…gene splicing gone awry because our conversations may be heard by passersby, someone may be offended because our language wasn’t blended certified as neutralized words no longer “Super Sized”. Words are being muffled….silenced by the mob demanding that we serve them – fresh corn- without the cob. Words are being “weaponized” – the arming of perception a conversational “Cold War” – exchanges of deception. Words are going missing……gaps upon the pages trapped within this horror…….a poet’s heart still rages. John G. Lawless 12/1/2015
