Meaningless Words

Words are meaningless
   but yet we continue to use them
We’ve supposedly created languages
   in order to distinguish one another’s ideas

Words are meaningless
   because we continue to use them
even though we’re just hearing
   one another’s ideas instead of listening

Words are meaningless
   and still we continue to use them
Supposed attempts at communication
   Halfhearted efforts to absorb information

Words are meaningless
   I say this and yet I continue to use them
In one last hope that
   I can make you listen to my ideas

Words are meaningless
   we shouldn’t need to continue to use them
Though I feel universal languages
   have been forever forgotten
