Nebulous

Clouds of information streaming
From mouths to ears
Regurgitating air and noise
Overt politeness masking aggressive intent
And controlling ideology
Working through issues and tasks
Internal politics and alliances
Vying and jockeying for position
Interesting though it is
Really - what does it all mean?

The Meeting

Cantankerous old men and silly girls
Flirting with wasting time as a distraction
From the important business of being alive
To serve those other lonely people
Who are spending money and time
In order to avoid the important business
Of being alive to serve mankind
In improving the lot of those
Even less fortunate
Who struggle
Simply to live
