stories told by mouth
will slowly shift and mold
and slowly lose the meaning
or the reason they've been told
words will last forever
if the words are read and known
so let the words I've written
be forever etched in stone

This is a very good poem that makes its point in just a few words. It is so true that what is said is misheard or forgotten and disappears with time while that that is written down is remembered and not distorted. A most important message for poets. Send it in.
thank you. there were nay ideas that went into it.......... here is a quote i like to say when speaking to people about ancient civilizations and there stone artwork......carve something in stone and it will last 1000 years.... and will create 1000 story's....and obtain 1000 meanings.....and become 1000 things.
