Wielded

poetboy5454

With great audacity we claim we write words

We are the puppeteers constructing abysses of despair and bridges of hope

The composer to a grand, eternal song

The true holder of the swift pen spraying ink across the page

 

No instead, we are bound and shackled by these words

Slipping and sliding their ways from our dormant minds

Taking no credit as they spill upon the world, unanchored

Words with power undefined, lashing out and bringing in

Are we the wielders or the wielded?

 

Vessels with personalities strung together by an assortment of ideas only shared through these words we haughtily claim as our own

Words like hearts, beating through time and space, wells of life

Chained by their whims as we release them from our tongues to rain upon dry ears

With great audacity we claim to write words

Never asking

Are we the wielder or the wielded?
