The weight of a word
the power of a phrase
the vigour of a verse
and a naked mind.
The wallop of wealth
the cohere of capital
the redolence of riches
but a desolate cry.
The sovereignty of speech
the esprit of
expression
the reverence of religion
with incinerating rights.
The lushness of land
The succulence of seeds
The happiness of hope
albeit a barren sky.
