words paint even the unthinkable
whether slaughtered martyrdom
or ethnic cleansing
every sentence spoken or writ owes words
their very lives
on the page gestures can be no supplement
man is the only injection of sanity or insanity
words have
we are empty vessels of loathing self hatred
and isolated fear
without the use of words
in a wordless world
there are no bridges
only water
to float upon
or drown in
words are the boats that come
to save the survivors of
such nothingness hell
imagine Shakespeare without his words
hmmmmmmm
who is he.........
oh nobody
just a guy who died several hundred years
ago
poor, alone and obscure
that he would indeed have been
without the amazing contribution of
what?
his
words.................
