In the beginning was the Word
And the Word was good - good and powerful
And so those in power dictated what was allowable
Claiming the rights of absolutum dominium
But soon found it too strong to be restrained by barriers of the tongue
And while they thought the Word was securely locked
It turned out to be the kinda Word that could not be blocked
It was still very good - good and angry
And in righteous anger in duplicate it broke free
To invade the hearts and minds of the laity
Of men and women like you, like me
to shake off the shackles of the antiquated educated
And to settle into the more readily disseminated.
The Word was out and stayed out after curfew
Keen to travel as far as it could do
To spread wide it's indelible red ink stain
A no matter how hard you scrub it will still remain kinda stain
Recklessly stubborn, to colour, to infest
to fully extend its world wide out stretch
Using every digital tweet and text
And to go on to cast its world wide net
So now you can all binge-feast on the freed up goodness
Of the eternal Word who was once made flesh
