Today XV

Today,
he started the day
intending to speak up
on the global burning issues.

Utmost urgency
energized his whole being...

Anger and fury
fed his feverish thoughts...

So much to be said!
So much to be done!...

And...
He, really, had not much to say...
In all honesty,
he had nothing to say...

Took honesty out of the equation
and he spoke volumes!

Volumes
in terms of volume, that is...

Endless sequences of words
tyrannically degraded to meaninglessness...

Today,
he scratches his head and wonders
what is the metric distance
between Here and Now...
