"...it's only WORDS..."

"...you think that I don't even mean a single WORD I say. It's only WORDS, and WORDS are all I have to, take your heart away...", lyrics by the Brothers Gibb from the song Words.

Tonight once again for the first time, the President of the United States spoke to the citizens of this country (those of whom) for the most part have NOT decided that he is in the midst of developing death squads, setting up abortion clinics, opening sex change store fronts, or destroying the very foundation of greedy gluttonous capitalism with devious socialistic mad men medicine.

The President spoke WORDS from the heart of great depth and desire and hints of sincere intention and honest approach. He spoke WORDS that sounded like a man with compassion who truly understood the torture, the tedium, the tremendous angst and stress anyone in this country must confront when ill, sick or dying; dealing with hospitals, health insurers, and hidden administrators ready to pull the plug because of preexisting conditions, being too sick to begin with, or just too expensive to cover.

And then the talking heads took to the airwaves to add their WORDS, suggesting that this time for the first time, they, the men and women in white (the good guys and gals), will make reform happen.

Senator Barbara Boxer (D), of California went on the Rachel Maddow Show and spoke WORDS of how NOW she will challenge her cronies in Congress and ask them if the public option is not good for the PUBLIC, why is it good for the elected public servants. (Try to reach Senator Boxer via email and all you get are pre-recorded WORDS of how wonderful she is as Senator.)

And then the WORDS started to reflow and regurgitate from the Republican spin machine and the lies, fabrications, and excuses fell so fast that one might have thought a Tsunami just happened. And those WORDS continue to stop the motion of any health care reform that aids and abides the public, but just keeps the corporations coffers healthy and stuffy. (How many more people need to suffer, go broke or die while these WORDS are spoken?)

And now the few hours after the WORDS were spoken, and rebuffed, and lied about and heart wrenchingly embraced, the WORDS of anti this and pro that are flowing like lava from an eruption of Mount Kilimanjaro.

And if you watched the televised presentation of the Presidents WORDS, all the Senators and Congress People, who ARE receiving Government Run Health Coverage, kissed hugged, patted themselves on their respective backs, and had WORDS to share with one another.

You know what I do think..." I think that YOU don't even mean a single WORD you say, and by it just being WORDS,"... you just might take my heart, my breath my life away..."
