Speak

Speak

Speak into the world
Words worth speaking
According to the standards
Of those who spoke before
So you may build something
The next generation will find
Worthy of speaking of
Speak into the evolution
A language new, yet understood
By old and new
For context is king
Of this present history
Of this and all other
Present histories
Speak up for yourself
And speak up for others
Speak first
Speak second
Speak third
But at some point
Be sure to listen
We can speak into existence
Previously unknown truths
And condemn one another
With free-flowing falsehoods
Without the needed, spoken rebuttal
That condemned soul
May never be saved
Without word we wander
Wastelands weeping
