Are These Words

Are these words Or just li(n)es, Forming meaning to host But bubkis* to most Do I write what I say This scribble, transcription I detect some conviction But if said and not heard Another blissful, pragmatic Exceptional blurb Once exchanged To receiver Once translated By perceiver It may lose it's intent Could ignite, not prevent But the message is taken Clear, action, now And, G-d forbid, if mistaken.
