Graffiti Hieroglyphs
Learned or learnt not to quit
The poetic -eth how do you putteth it
Words to understand where one comes studying
Attaining archaic word blessings
History not to be re-abused
A gift from above must be used
Archeologists dig deep to find wisdom hidden
While forces today spay paint truth forbidden
Study true so not to go astray
A word may not be sentimental today
To say it may be a perverted dressing
May be even decayed all together a scheme
From truth to advert men's minds deems
The etymologist may not quit
One should use his wit
Let us not error the word writ
For treason they languish
but One day a perfect language
Who loses propaganda wars
Tomorrow’s children future chores
Through time and riff
Reading graffiti as hieroglyphs
