Beaten and Distorted

Sorry
Used to go a long way
Once upon a time.

It grew
Like everything else,
Bloated and distorted.

Beaten,
Overused, Meaningless
Became two words of gratitude.

Goodbye
Ruled the world,
And Hello lost its sheen.

Trust
Became a myth
One likes to believe in

Like
Santa Claus and Elves
And Fairies and Magic.

Disguises
Remain, for they
Still hold us together.
