Hollow Content

A delusional unfortunate misuse of power,
Has stunning affects on reality...
At first capturing denial.
In private sessions confessed.
Seething tempers in confusion,
Awakens distrust...
And scambles those to seek,
Strategies to calm the storm!
Ships rock in tempestuous seas!
And weapons used to stop controlled conflicts...
Are as effective as speech is without sincerety,
And hollow content!
Bravery mentioned can not be sustained,
With commanders at odds!
And chaos fragments communication,
Amongst those unfamiliar with its purpose...
In cultures where soft drinks and diets
Are not suitable replacements,
For those whose appetites hunger for blood...
And wounded flesh!
