All night it throbbed in his head Dug into his sleep with a ruthless ***** Nailed him delirious dreams’ recurring theme His words had all along failed him!
A fool he was to think he spoke only the right Used the most appropriate in all of his write That his words showed them brutally bared His thoughts with other minds all the while shared!
He sank his fevered head inside the wash basin How he wasted himself being an egoistic machine Absorbed too long in his mindless impart Of word’s deemed bounty born dead at birth!
A shameful gratitude brought his eyes tears They cared not to tell him all these years Vain was their wait for the face of his dream Was never revealed *his words failed him!
