WORDS
From where do they come?
Like a flood on the tongue
Rivers of language
How did they become?
Holy or not?

The essence of wisdom
Lives
Fit in a ring of gold
Worn by men of old?

How do you get it?
Loose or tied
To whom or what
Man-Satan-angel-demon?
Mainframe or God?
What is the origin?
Of thought?

Construction was built
Upon the tongue
Babel is high treason
Why?
Who’s the liaison?
Origin is willing to be known
What have you missed?
What is hidden in bone?

Centuries have known
Spirits have need
Even a donkey’s jaw bone will do
Or herd of swine
What moves you?

Why do you write what you think?
Who’s voice do you obey?
Think of the beginning
How was word taught?
Is there a secret?
A place?

Was there a first war?
Of words?
To whom do they belong?
Do you own your own?

Is writing a gift?
Begging is a closer look
Into the origin
Of finger on stone
For stony heart
Of flesh & bone

Come now
Let us reason together
If you are willing & obedient
You shall eat of the good
Consider
The knocking at your door
Are they not words?

Before they are written
Before they are spoken
They swell inside
It desires you
You shall rule over it
According to who?

See it in the beginning?
Cain was taught
To choose
To know
Good vs. evil?
Are they just 2 words?
Do they desire fruit too?
To eat?
To share?
It desires to root in you
The story of the ages

In the end
What has been erected?
History’s tongue
Cries out over and over
Mankind has power

Where are you?
