'Words In The Wind' by Jerry Joel

Floating in the wind,

are wise words ricocheted

off foolish ears,

like indian rubber balls.

Floating in the wind,

are wantonly whispered words

on destinationless journeys,

whirling with the wind.

Floating in the wind,

are words of promises

now worth less

than a 5 naira note.

Floating in the wind,

are words of goodbyes,

said with tearful eyes

to dead or dying ears.

Floating in the wind,

will be these words,

muttered underneath your breath,

as you read this poem.
