Rattlesnakes in Discourse

No parlez vous
No  comprende

It's just a barrage a
Faux barricade
We talk at  each  other
And  each of us carry
A "crazy" around
Ready to shoot verbiage
Gunning each other down...

Humankind-
So very unkind
Hiding  behind magnanimous shields
Fulminating magnificent orgy of words
That stand  up for ideas
Motions of emotions
Strikingly  elegant
poseurs  langorous
With effete langue
Malovolent malicious
Tittering tongues..

A  babel.
A baby's drivel.
A babble of sheeple
A rabid rabble...

Hiding  behind magnificent  views
And mincing opinions like
Strong diced onions
Shedding tears of copious abundance
Meaning long  forgotten.

Do we even listen to each
other?
When our own words are
mnemonic devices trigerring  subliminal comfort zones
The  proverbial music to our
Expectant ears?

The herd heard not.
They weren't really hard of hearing.
But
Hard hearted and soft in the head.
Humanity in need
Of humanitarian aid.

(Let them eat cake
If  they don't have bread.)
