just words

you should write a poem one day
maybe with words...yes, use words

that transport and deliver to places trapped in dreams
a poem with edible crystals, floating in glacial streams
or about proud eagles, soaring over shattered mesas,
beneath corroded clouds filled with man's distaste

perhaps let me hold, tomorrow's newborn today
to taste the essence of magic in infant eyes
and yes, force feed the awful realities to us all
but use warmth and compassion to dissolve the pain

and use your heart...oh please, use your heart
and shower the world with promises worthy of death
crush ancient and gilded wrongs through your power
of faith in the mass appeal hiding, behind the right thing

you should write a poem one day
with words

just words
