Greetings, dear earthlings.
I am word.

I can be simple and single.
A compound of those of my form conceive that which can be uttered to communicate anything.
I am, have been and shall forever be word.
And my purpose is to be heard.
With the aid of a prefix and suffix I make you, break you, shake you and literally awake you.
Take me serious, for against your existence
I make the world oblivious.

Greetings, dear earthlings.
I am word…and my purpose is to be heard.

The verbal use of my being possesses the power to liberty
and an overwhelming possibility of protecting the dignity
Of your potential ability to use me wisely
Compared to man creations, recognise that my worth has been praised more highly
So kindly allow me to preserve the potency of my oral tradition
Without much contradiction,
recite your verses and let’s embark on this eternal verbal expedition.

Salutations, dear earthlings.
I was, I am and I forever will be word
And my purpose is to be heard…
