         Beware the Beautiful Words

         The beautiful words
         musical
         dare poetic
         resonant and rhythmic
         after the dull and the insincere
         after the years of calculated lies
         will seem to soothe

         Fears can be shouted bare and bold from some
         then glossily spoken from others
         so listen carefully
         they will define their own problems
         then solve them for you
         right before your unsuspecting eyes
         and your uncritical ears

         All may be turned on its pretty head
         and in the dizziness
         and the giddiness
         liberties fall away
         without notice

         A watchdog is worth every bone
         you can throw to him
         keep one fed by your door
         listen for the warning bark
         unleash him when you must
