New poem: "Words Have a Soul"

 

Words Have a Soul

 

Words have a soul,

an identity all of their own;

and when a word’s identity

is abused by the self-serving

“woke” agenda (a clever ideology

born of the ersatz victimhood

mentality), the veracity of its soul

meaning becomes its shadow opposite,

or something other; and good old

common sense becomes nonsense,

like the pronouns he and she

becoming “them.”
