We have made important things
Cliché
Trite
Corny
Even those of us who do nothing to create it
Laugh at the jokes
Discount the truth
Mock
Roll our eyes
Buy In
Real Love
Trust
Truth
Joy
Happiness
Important Abstractions
A child’s love for their parent
The misery created via tragedy
The seeking for something better
The pain everything can entail
The hope
Striving
Searching
Hurting
Finding
We’ve made a joke of it
All
Human Emotion
If it is genuine
I suppose
The world
Will
Mock
And what
Will
We
Do?
…..this time…..
today
right now
tomorrow
I mean wow
We’re low
We’ve even found a way (and not just A way but many ways) to make a joke out of sex – the most vulnerable, most alive, most real we can be with another human being, the truest form of love incarnate
