American Diction

They call sensible speech "Word Salad"
Because it is not in a fourth grade syntax.
Words used are made five years ago
In place of better words that are ancient.
Words also don't mean anything useful
For they must mutate their definitions
To utter exactitude and nothing more.
"Autism" reigns supreme, for none want
To understand poetry... moral truth
And context clues don't exist for all
Must rightly stand on minutia upon minutia
Line upon line, here a little there a little.
