Names
Are like games
Labels of shame
Callings to fame
Names are words too insane
To be less than what we mean
When we say them
Names are good, wonderful, great
Full of love or drained by hate
A name is a label, an identity, a seal
On the envelopes of our lives
They aren't real
Names are worthless, useless alone
Pasted on people, they become our own
Key words to files we fold in our heads
Names represent ideas
Like the rose represents red
A name can be cruel
Hateful little devil
Or a jewel
A starling image of who we are
Names
Are like games
Meaningless shame
Wonderful fame
What we mean when we say
A name is what it's worth
Names are to blame
For trouble here on Earth
