The Word

A significant improvement

over the grunt and pointing

the word

in many languages

and alphabets

takes us to or from

mental telepathy

if from

then our descent into confusion

is deserved

if to

there is hope

that all the wars and disagreements

will be relieved

by something better

Automatically as if by design

someone confronted by these words

may wish to voice their own

since as many of us know

that to control the conversation

to control the flow of words

increases our esteem

with our tribesmen

since few wish to vocalize

thus leading others

in various directions

either mentally of physically

Those from that other

jungle neighborhood

will wag their butts

and raise their loincloths

in an affront to the speaker

since their arrows

have another stripe or feather

and likely forgodssake

another gODD

created by their old men

around a fire

or in some forgetful book

that only they think is wonderful

So there you have the problem

old men and women

leading younger

into belief systems

through words

and battles

that destroy the young

since the old

are jealous of youth

and had to develop

a system that would

punish the younger

and their hubris

typically pleading peace

bliss and happiness

Youth waving their

intensely hard cocks

or tight breasts and butts

no wrinkles sagging

their souls into despair

Words created by the old

designed to kill off

just enough of the young

to make them old

so they too

can create systems

to destroy the young

they bring into the world

And that

as they say

is the last word

no

don't respond through thought

you will disappoint me

as I am old

trying to keep

the ages pure and hatefilled

so don't fight me

go find some younger person

to send to the waste pile

of history

so that their friends

will grow old

as they attempt to develop

they're own words

that no one will contend

and please

do as your mother

taught you

change your loincloth

regularly

something smells
