Away With Words

Neville

Away With Words

 

Away

 With words 

The wordsmith sighed

Discard all those verbs

Then leave your vowels outside

Let us write about love for a change

 

 

Aye

Away with words

Forget about your pride

The end is nigh the blank page cried

Why don’t we talk about peace for a change

 

 

Away

With words

Go take a walk outside

Forget politics, religion, weather and sex

Let’s all think about ……………........for a change

Feel free to add your own word in the space above

    Aphasia?
    Voicelessness?
    Emptiness?
    Apathy?
    Powerlessness?

    Oh so many words could fill that void.
    It reminded me of a poem I wrote.

                Thank you Andrew my friend, I like all three of your first choice words.. the humanness one I maybe need to think about as there are many things I don't like about our species...... Now relax.. think nice flowing streams and whale music.... Nev

                  Fair point
                  I meant the nice parts of humaness not th bad parts
                  But I agree we have been a palgue on this planet as far as other speies are concerned
