Today's word is "Persiflage" ... PUR-suh-flahzh ... light, bantering talk or writing. a frivolous or flippant style of treating a subject. (Dictionary.com)
Under
Watching entertainment roll,
You could be forgiven,
If through all the persiflage,
You miss that this world's riven.
Happy dancers skip the stage,
Singers rock and roll,
Groups of talking heads just laugh,
At their own comments, droll.
More serious things are hidden,
Under all this glee,
Meanings for our futures,
For those who choose to see.
