Declarations

Imagine if we acted our ideals:
If what we said we thought were followed through.
Now, when we speak, we say what most appeals
Without consideration of what's true
Within our hearts. We do not have to do
The hard but worthy deeds we wish to claim;
And so we say whatever we want to
Taking advantage of the good we name
Trusting that others, too, will do the same
Thus understanding that we all are playing
A hypocritical but common game
Where no one stands behind what they are saying.
But if the words we spoke remade the facts
Perhaps we'd value words as much as acts.
