Words, words

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.
