Like an empty bottle
Words float around meaningless
Without use or function
Like an empty bottle
Peace, Justice, and equity are nothing but barren fruit
Without outcomes of physical manifestation
Words are an empty bottle and lack direction
Like an empty bottle
You walk life expecting to be seen and heard
Yet you’ve done nothing but wave a false sword
To fill the bottle and pour it out on this
Virgin field of rich soil and sediment
Watching the harvest grow out of this will
The meaningless word has grown into
A purposeful bird awaiting the winds of change
So now it can fly above the world and see the corruption it once nested in
Like an empty bottle
You aspire to be great and righteous
Looking in the mirror to see deceptive fullness
Yet your words and actions are meaningless
Weightless on the sales of judgement
You’ve done nothing to push culture
Like an empty bottle
You are a cursed vulture
