Words are our pleasure,
Words are our gain.
And yet are dishonest,
Oft bringing pain.
Words are too vague,
Unclear definitions.
Often they're given,
Their own renditions.
And what happens when,
One word can mean any.
Put two together,
And meaning's are many.
And this becomes worse,
When the words are spoken.
A loss of precision,
The meaning is broken.
And this is because,
Most people prefer.
To keeps things vague,
Let the listener infer.
Then they can always,
Adjust the meaning.
Just to make sure,
It's always demeaning.
This is emotive,
Anathema to me.
There's always some falseness,
Can you not see?
We should all learn,
Like in law and science.
Strict definitions,
Grammatic compliance.
If a single meaning,
Can't be derived.
Then what you are hearing,
May well be contrived.
I'm fed up with spending,
Hours of thought.
On what word to use,
It's making me fraught.
When I know that most,
Will distort my meaning.
Until it says nothing,
At all that's redeeming.
