The Day the Words Failed – Verse 1

This is a repost from my Yahoo! 360 blog

Friday January 27, 2006

So I’ve been doing a little bit of blog browsing on 360, and it seems like a lot of people post their poetry. Not being one to miss out on trends, I’m gonna post a verse to a new song I started writing today. (I also have nothing else to write about at the moment) Its broken up into stanzas for easy reading.

The Day the Words failed

An MC with no message
But ill ass phonics
Is like the empty promise
Of a prodigious convict

A wordsmith without a topic
Is like a real gifted prophet
Who speaks nothing but nonsense
It’s a problem

The day the words failed
Problems ran rampant
We succumbed to the
Pedantic antics of charismatic asses

It was like instant ignorance
As intelligence vanished
Leaving conscientious people
Starved, mentally famished

Everyone could speak
But words became so useless
Rich, poor, and educated
We all became clueless

Efforts to save information
Were ultimately fruitless
We became the ultimate losers
Victimized by the ruthless

Men that preyed on incoherence
Were free to take advantage
As meaning was destroyed
With nothing left to salvage

It was catastrophic
When minds became so catatonic
That no one felt sorrow
For the tragic loss of logic

(chorus)
It may seem like a dream
But if it actually happened
Who’d be left laughing?

I know that you know what I mean
But that understanding
Can’t be taken for granted

If I finish the other verses in the next few days, I might post them.
