Beauty Within Words

Seated alone; a room full of blank and emotionless faces. The murmur on with unimpressive tones. Failing their attempts at using alliteration, morphemes, to name just a few. How can the educated, lack the simplest of appreciation? Life's little gifts, such as poetic beauty or powerful prose. Instead babbling on with mindless banter. Never scratching beyond, the rough exterior. Lacking the knowledge, even to explicate their products. Believing literature, nothing more, than words upon paper. Never to experience, the hidden beauty, within words exposed.
