Poem Artwork

Words are like the waves

Acted on by the onshore wind

When the real point of the case,

Which is a match for the sea itself,

Discussed by them is lost.

 

The wind and waves

Are easily set in motion;

Success of a sailing is failed

Once the port of destination is lost,

Putting the vessel in peril

Of the deep blue whirl.

 

This is the reason why

Quarrels are occasioned

By nothing so much

As by the artful words

And one-sided speeches.

Words certainly can provide a torrent of discontent. But, other than images, how else can we describe our existence? Hence the argument.
