Euphemisms

my name
is something nicer
than what I actually
am

call me the pleasant
words
instead of calling me
out on my reality.

Euphemism

Euphemisms collateral damage 
children died and you smiled
at the flashes of light
bombs make at night
casualties counted  
casualties filed
television is making us numb
its sound we march to like a drum

Euphemisms

She didn't die; she passed away.
He isn't fat, just large.
She isn't mean and nasty;
She just likes to be in charge.

The play we saw was int'resting.
The meal we had - okay.
So much is hidden in each message
That we do convey.

And that is why I understand 
So well when I am told
That I am looking tired;
What it translates to is OLD!

The Rabbit Hole

~~Euphemisms can not relinquish a loved one in death or a sudden breakup. It doesn’t matter how little or few words are used.
~~Perhaps lengthy passages are said when someone is dead; but they are dead. 
~~It’s not a fun subject to share with a crowd; but it is something that is stated out loud. 
~~Thank you for listening I haven’t a clue. 
~~I’ll just mope around feeling quite blue.
