Why I Write Vol.2

If you keep words inside

You won’t explode,

You’ll just die.

Everyone will forget you,

Just occupying a grave,

Keeping it cold for the next owner.

Worse than saying too much,

Is saying too little,

If I pontificate at exhausting length

I apologize but only a little.

One day I will die

And all that will be left

Is my words,

Passed down in words.

– Vagabond Prophet
