David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

A Colloquy of Perfection

A Colloquy of Perfection
David J Walker

It was before words were created 
to be misunderstood

Before a colloquy could be called 
To describe the
depression or crying or dying 
Around a primitive campfire

Long before numbers were ordered and  
used to count the cost
Of a contest tossed into the flames

Before innocence was lost
In the names of
prophecies of profits hired to host 
A holocaust of descriptive investigations

That’s when 
The last time
The world claimed to be
Perfect
