Ode to words


I broke ope my pen and let the ink fly,
setting off splatters on a creamy page.
It raised quite a den, smearing when I try
to set its smatters to my char like rage.
What languages have ripped apart their rules
only for the sake of a quiet beat
even since the caves, to art we bend our tools,
forgetting to bake, to sleep, even eat!
Our language makes us, and defines our ways,
driving our thoughts, it renders who we are
plausible to trust by setting our shames
into separate lots and labels and cares
         Inked words caught my heart, ‘n set my mind ablaze.
         I’m lost in their art, and stuck in their maze.
