Empty Words

DNC 2016

(by R.P.Edwards

After 7 years

Of deeds and do's

We don't need words

To know what's true

We've SEEN the actions

We KNOW the ways

And empty words

Will never sway 

But there are those

Who deal in air

They LOVE the verses

With nothing there

They cheer for empty!

They weep for fluff!

But America, sir

We've had enough

Haven't listened to the DNC speeches. Don't care.

Oh, I've heard from second sources how WONDERFUL the speeches have been: VP Biden, President Obama, ect. and et al. 

But...but...at this point; I don't honestly care.

You see, back in the beginning; back in 2008, WORDS were possibilities. They didn't necessarily have substance; but they did contain...hope. But NOW...we know what has been done. And the DONE...far outweighs the words.

So, whether the President speaks, or others in the same camp speak; at this point--since there is a history--they mean nothing. UNLESS...you're in the media. Oh, they love words! It is their reality; their food and drink; their very life! But some words, ma'am and sir, are none of these. AND, after over seven years of deeds; the new words...mean nothing.
