Words

Words are all muddled Translation lost over time Does anyone really understand? That no words, are easy to find. Books are misunderstood From different parts of the earth It's like reading jibberish Our words are now under a curse. How can we understand anything? After the Tower Of Babel Languages are mixed and corrupted So the original words went to hell. Not perfect in speaking As it's lost, and gone Words do not mean the same We are saying it all wrong. How can we communicate? Nothing makes sense We are like different birds Sitting on a fence. With no understanding Of each other, or anyone Words are just nothing Because everyone is so dumb. Pleonasm is too long No-one can explain It's all out of date So new words are insane. Plenitude is non-existed You are sashay But no-one is like that So we see the end of days. When the final word has been spoken Will anyone understand? The end is near for all of us We are all under God's hand. (c) Tommy K 4/11/2013
