Today's word is "platitude" ... plat-i-tood ... a flat, dull, or trite remark, especially one uttered as if it were fresh or profound. (Dictionary.com)
Blues
We're looking for a new take,
On news that's tired and worn,
An end to routine platitudes,
And thoughts that are forlorn.
Someone must now straighten
Truths most tangled threads,
And be willing to deliver,
Complete, where they all end.
This sincere unraveling,
Will be difficult indeed,
This throwing off of bias,
In the service of truth's need.
