Forget four-letter words, they don’t mean much;
As verbal punctuation, nothing at all.
Should they signal aggression, then such
A warning allows retreat from a brawl......
No forget, I ask you, four-letter words –
My focus is on a two-letter word
By which people define themselves as herds;
It’s “We” – use it, and all nuance is blurred:
\'Oh let\'s be happy as part of this mob:
We all moan together and feel we’ve done
The world a service\'; but really you rob
Your misgivings of meaning – there is none.
Ask the who, when and why of everything –
World troubles, human behaviour, specify
Who and why – then perhaps you have some sting,
And at least no attempt to pacify
Each other with a long drawn out collective groan. 🙂
