Ramble (12-12-2011)

What is it

About the simpler language

The easy words that I love so much?

 

I like to think these are the words

The rest of our race can say

And understand

 

They have a bare-bones feel

In hopes that through childish words

We speak more like the gods who made us

That through these words

The deeper meaning, emotions

What has been, what is

What is wanted

What we are

Can only be said by children

 

Let me speak like a child

Who speaks like the gods

Let me put letters next letters

And build meaning

That everyone can grasp
