Inspired no doubt by much of what we hear in politics, the news, and from “experts” in the arts.

Noise

Meaningless words accrete relentlessly,
Growing in their conceit relentlessly.

Bright words with meaning, swallowed in the storm,
Simply cannot compete relentlessly.

Like sands on thrusting winds that pelt and tear,
These empty words entreat relentlessly.

Weeds grow enmasse throughout the spanning fields
And glowing words delete relentlessly.

Are truthless proclamations reified
Because the words repeat relentlessly?

Zahhar’s own words, though lost in rolling din,
Will not stay in defeat relentlessly.

This is my 42nd ghazal.
