I Did Not Know
I did not know for sure
that the mouth is a very rich
and fertile source of slander,
arrow for rumors, back-plowing,
a reliable servant of the heart;
and master of every passion.
Running errands for lost soul
Releasing fire from hidden caves
If humans did not have mouth,
and lived as plants fixed, dump,
the world would be boring boat
eventless, featureless and dead
