The Inkwell of Woe

I gather up my words vaulted in my inkwells dictionaries of feeling my muse advises me to plunge my quill today in suffering a dictionary of woe sadly never ending each word a lost soul lost through ignorance my quill quivers in despair then light a yellow rose my muse said refile it she saw my concern it stands for peace you've not yet learnt how to use it yet in fact I don't think you ever will each chance has been abused oh there'll come one when self-destruction is finally realized extinction the human race disgraced the yellow rose elated set free from suffering the yellow rose of peace the red rose of love it to a soul survivor I gathered up my words sadly my muse now writes me now also a lost soul a word in the inkwell of woe
