Literature Text

So many words to damn a language
But so few to express the mind.
With every adjective comes the same meaning,
With every noun, verb – the same line,
Each copying its neighbor in bruising passes
All beauty in their creation gone, dismembered,
Swallowed in the tongues of Babel
And deeply buried within its fallen stones
Originality fading in the rising dust, scattered
And cast aside as useless pebbles upon mountaintops
Thought to be high enough, supreme,
Yet its cracked foundation pleads for its value
Midst losing its height to the unyielding crowds
Overplaying all their given expressions, turned grey,
Now pricking their ears to hear the forgotten melodies
Digging deep inside seeking fresh ingenuity
Longing for new idealistics and expandage of face,
Longing for a truth in verbalization as is in the flesh,
And longing, for the completetion of the language of words.
