Consternation, reverberation, manipulation, stipulation, <br />population, postulation, congregation, registration. <br />Words growing ever in size, <br />letters that form before your eyes, <br />business built and business fall, <br />in words scrawled upon the wall, <br />Kingdom come and Kingdom go, <br />because of words spoken to slow. <br /> <br />Letters written to friends who leave, <br />words that tell a heart to grieve, <br />songs elate with words of love, <br />use a phrase and rise above, <br />many tongues from lands afar <br />transport words out to a star, <br />cries in the night a broken heart, <br />with bitter words do lovers part, <br />echoes from mountain peaks repeat <br />words with which the universe speaks, <br />living in the shade of oral terms, <br />words are read by one who learns, <br />before your tongue can blind your eyes, <br />before your heart gives up and cries, <br />do one thing for our sake now, <br />shut up! take a silence vow.<br /><br />Richard Allen Beevor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-531/
