Words, words
homeless words
fluttering from
page to page
mouth to mouth
loud like
the town cryer`s gong.
Sharp words
like a double-edged sword
slicing humanity.
We marvel at tragedies
laugh at comedies
life spiralling
like the whirlwind.
Words in books
black - on white
choking the pages
submit not to rain
nor to the sword
awaken varied attention.
Words, words loud
like the town cryer`s gong
painting the pages
black - on white
two sides of mankind
in eternal cycle.
