Wasted Words of Poetical Incorrectness

Wasted words of Poetical Incorrectness Words are precious commodities not traded as their value is just too high. Words of falsehood are a waste of words as in time the truth will always negate the lie. Like running the water when brushing your teeth is a waste of precious H 2O. Words said in abundance when there's no one listening there is a waste there also. Words that are used when they don't need to be said is a squandering of valuable assets. Like a contractor building a house that will never be used ,lived in or possessed. Using valuable words to ones, that are unwilling to hear is a waste of your breath, your ink and your time Like Jesus said when talking about his opposers it's like "throwing pearls to the swine". Superfluous words are a needless repetition a use of words that is unnecessary Repeating the same things just so they can be heard this is a warning to the unwary. Words that are spoken to those unable to hear are words that fall on deaf ears Words that are written that are never read are wasted words falling like the poets tears Using unkind words in a heated rage is a waste of words as they incinerate the page Sometime later in a calmer state those words are regretted and usually replaced In conclusion, my dear fellow poets who write words of troubled sorrow and eloquence Let's not waste our precious time, ink and talent on those who practice poetical incorrectness.

Affirming we must remember... less is more, and measure of words reflect intellect.
