Beneath the Euphemistic Veil

Words can be tricky, shrouded in disguise,
Euphemisms dance before our very eyes.
Toilet paper's shift to bathroom tissue fair,
A subtle change, a whispered, nuanced prayer.

Sneakers transformed to runners on life's track,
Yet beneath the surface, secrets still they lack.
Old cars reborn as "used" with gentle grace,
In euphemistic cloak, they find a resting place.

Hospitals, where illness met its healing end,
Now wellness centers, where new hopes ascend.
Health professionals, in scrubs, they softly tread,
In euphemism's embrace, their roles widespread.

The economically disenfranchised, they endure,
Euphemisms veil the struggle they secure.
A gentler term, for those whose paths are steep,
In the labyrinth of life, their stories keep.

Murders masked as neutralization's guise,
Euphemisms cloak the pain that often lies.
Misinformation, softly whispered lore,
In euphemistic shadows, truth's core we explore.

Bush Rangers, fighting for freedom's grand expanse,
Euphemisms paint their tale, in hidden dance.
Physically challenged, strength they still bestow,
In a world of euphemism, they gracefully grow.

The deaf, with hearing's gentle impairment found,
Euphemism's touch, their world does surround.
Severe appearance deficit, a softer guise,
In euphemistic mirrors, their beauty lies.

Within this realm of words, we gently tread,
Euphemisms weaving tales, where truths are spread.
But deep within the labyrinth of disguise,
In the heart of language, reality never dies.
