Magniloquent ... Legacy

Today's word is "magniloquent" ... mag-NIL-uh-kwuhnt ... Lofty or grandiose in speech or expression; using a high-flown style of discourse; bombastic. (Dictionary.com)

Legacy
No matter how impressive,
How magniloquent,
It's not the meaning of his speeches,
That should give us all a hint.

But instead watch his actions,
They'll tell you everything,
There's nothing hidden there,
To which he will not cling.

And when the dust has settled,
Truth will be revealed,
It always happens this way,
It's how his fate is sealed.
