“–eacher’s first time on our show, the preacher’s first time on public access. He’s here to talk to you about our history, and forgotten past. We welcome The Hermit of Marlowe, for our Sermon of the Week. All Rise.”
Influenced by the Worth of Words I took a trip to write in France I have come back to now inter The Spirit of Romance:
There once were times of eloquence When words were bought and sold in pence Their quantity was so immense But what have you all done?
Uphold the discourse, that you swore ‘though from her bitter grasp you tore The beauty that you must abhor Where has her meaning gone?

What does our future have in store? A zeitgeist’s language unadorned The pen is mightier than the sword, But what about the gun?
