The Lady’s Not for Earning, No, Of Course Not, No
“Words, after all, are only words
And I have heard so many in these past
Few days that half my wits are sick.” ~ Lancelot, in Lancelot, by Edwin Markham
If “Words . . . are only words,” then after all
It doesn’t matter what we say or write.
We speak out all the vilest ones, appall
As many hearers as we want, and spite
The millions. Hitler’s book doesn’t matter.
Das Kapital is just so many words.
That’s it. Kellyanne Conway can flatter
And lick the ass of Trump and claim his turds
Are manna tasting far more like honey
Than Fake News. Does she speak her witches’ brew
For highest principles, not for money?
If Conway wasn’t being paid, spewing true
Words from her mouth in hot disgust would be
Her choice. Instead she’s whored her liberty.
