Talk Is Cheap Poem by Christine A Kysely

Talk is cheap
That’s what they say
Say what you mean
And mean what you say.
Words of wisdom
For what they’re worth
May or may not ring true.

Verbiage can appear as anything
Close or far from fact
One has to listen carefully
To be able to discern the truth.

Words can say anything
Anything at all
Words can act as high fences between
Or they can be the bricks
Building up broken walls.

Words, just like people
Can appear to have no meaning
They can leave the versions
of their truer self
Largely left unseen.

The higher words appear to fly
The farther their meanings may fall
One should always read words with caution
And carefully read between the lines
That’s the only way to know
If it’s true words
That one is hearing
By the author's own design.
