Without the Word

The pen is mightier than the sword
without the word
the sword is just a ssswishing
wishing reason
in the night

Reality is the causality
of adding an ‘s’
to either end of the word

Either or draw your swords
the many arms of might
nine out of ten times
conquer right……

Time
is the slow motion of devotion
that dis…arms the many armed
to hear one hand
clapping

to the song heard round the world
the hymnal
of the individual
to be
free

From the sword…swung
by him-nals
on her…itics, for politics
that stick you

The duel…ality
the s…laying that leaves
trees as timber
grizzlies as symbols
for standing their ground

That is the sound
heard round the world
standing your ground
but how

In the beginning…there is the word
it has no term
the…ology
belongs to all of we

Hear it coming
incoming
is the…all of us
delivering an out…cast thrust

Let us all say enough
to cacophonies

Our daily epiphanies
are
the pen…ultimate
scenes
to the re…awakening
wor…(all)d
