What are words
Those that become meaningless in the telling
those forgotten and twisted by the intellectuals who know better than the wordsmith themselves
Can a dream really sink so low as to be realised by one who did not dream
A childish vision intellectualised into submission

The words i have written
Most were my own pulled from the back of my mind the depths of my soul those from elsewhere
those were a testamant a honouring of what had gone
i did not use their words for souless presenting,
Nor did i kill the ones representing,
Maybe i quoth, maybe i sayend, but never stole nor killed the words the soul of the page

For I have read
This is the truth for i will make it so your vision perfect and flawed as it is i make plain with my sanitised words.
See me and i make you into what i would have you be. Something i can quantify something the souless mind can easily comprehend
Se how i cut the artistic idea with my clumsy interpretation Snicker-Snack.
And i hang you by the tumtum tree

To take a lot of pain,
take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud,
holds a lot of rain
