The Day the Words Failed – Verse 2

This is a repost from my Yahoo! 360 blog.

Click here for the first verse. And to prove that I can be productive at work, here’s the second verse.

An MC with no words
Is like no wings on a bird
There might be high hopes
But they’re both locked to earth

A man without his tools
Might as well be a fool
Because he’s filled with ideas
That serve no use

The day the words failed
We lost ability to communicate
Thoughts remained thoughts
All we could do was contemplate ruminate

But the pressure of a thought
Can only be eased by a word
Man could not move to action
Without the use of verbs

Communication ceased
Silent disruption of the peace
As intelligent men
Became no better than wild beast

And as expression grew scarce
The passion grew fierce
Til no man could walk the streets
Without good reason to be scared

The air was filled with
Incoherent mumblings
A disjointed soundtrack
To civilization crumbling

It was a tragic day
When words failed across the globe
And we all felt the pain of lost
And we all endured alone

(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

One more verse to go.
