We Speak Poetry

We speak an age-old dialect, of couplets our creators composed

Powerful words, so beautifully written that they penetrate our souls

We speak prehistoric lyrics, once woven in the fabric of our ancestor’s tribes

Merged and misplaced in distance customs, misdirected in the thralls of time

We speak mystifying stanzas, simulating the first verses ever written

In a time where limericks, like ideology were illicit and forbidden

We speak in a dialect so foreign to others, that only we can decipher its codes

Like some forgotten ancient tongue that very few know

WE SPEAK POETRY
