In the lost words of language In the gaping hordes of time There stands a hero He fights with rhyme For the pen is mightier than the sword His words we lean upon In the maelstrom in the eye of the storm of silence His words cascade like a fountain A tranquil place in a sea of violent words Great big man monsters attack him with verbs Birds peck at his eyes with profanities and troll him on Facebook. But he doesn't care, he barely looks For his heart is strong as is his soul and he breathes in air and exhales poetry.
