Words - the Heart of Imagination

Words - The Heart of Imagination? Only numbers can love you completely They stay in order, keep the peace in place And use words as tools to carve Thanksgiving turkeys On stop watches they control time Numbers stay together in a line as rules apply They ask for nothing in diminishing returns Words are fuzzy Numbers are clear You can count on them to be there Words are imaginary things picked up by birds Singing in the nest, carried off by winds By newspapers never read Through history, howling through the throats of wolves Who use language and words to make their point Do not come near me in this forest With human words and voices Your number will be up I will rip out your words through the heart of imagination! Wolf has no need or fear of numbers either There is only hunger here! Created on 10/19/14 for Challenge Title - "Words - The Heart of Imagination?" – Poetry Contest
