The house that words built
From foundation buried
To sky-bound roof
Sharp-barbed, stinging
Tongue twisters
Shrouded in laughter
What is meant
The meanings
Of words not said
Strategy disguised as Love
Grand manipulation
To win the cold war
Endless cycles
Saying the same thing
For generations
Laughing off black and blue
To good old boys
Wearing gold and blue
Paired off and repaired
Bred to consumption
Medicated satisfaction
Socially acceptable
Mental illness defined
Bestowed by guardians
This structure and form
Described and scribed
In deafening detail
Until the house crumbles
Severed from its lexicon
Of idiom and poor locution

Oh yes, I think you've done that. I was intensely moved by this.
I was very much moved by this; my heart ached, and I was close to tears. You write beautifully with truth, thank you.
