Graffiti Hieroglyphs

Learned or learnt not to quit The poetic -eth how do you putteth it Words to understand where one comes studying Attaining archaic word blessings History not to be re-abused A gift from above must be used Archeologists dig deep to find wisdom hidden While forces today spay paint truth forbidden Study true so not to go astray A word may not be sentimental today To say it may be a perverted dressing May be even decayed all together a scheme From truth to advert men's minds deems The etymologist may not quit One should use his wit Let us not error the word writ For treason they languish but One day a perfect language Who loses propaganda wars Tomorrow’s children future chores Through time and riff Reading graffiti as hieroglyphs
