The World I wish to See

A word... A sentence... A phrase spoken through the mouths of the lifeless

Distancing themselves with the world they were borne into, left to their own despair

Words... Words... Words.... That's all we hear here.... Meaningless... Is what they call it...

A forest of indescion, and a path of ignorance... This is what awaits me... this is what awaits you... this is what awaits the world

Whom see nothing but words but leaves them at that--

But what is life at that-- what is the worth of a world whom sits back a stares into a void

Deprives themselves of living in a world filled with so many wonderful words.

So many multifarious words--all of different meanings -- of sayings-- of cultures...

That is the world I wish to see... but it is not the world in which I exist-- 

It is a world that no one may enter....

There are walls .... there are boundaries.... destruction to those who pass through the bridge between here and there

SO no one dare try, no one excpet the few who wish for something more, who see a higher purpose...

They seek it too,they want it more than the sad world that only obliges them

They seek phrases and sentences and bountiful rivers of words-- Such wonderful words that have the power to change

That have the power to heal...

I want to live in that world.... I want to look and see others reach out for that world too

And it not like I haven't seen that light flicker in the eyes of many

Its that I see the fear of this world convince them that there is no power in the words they truly want to say...
