Does eloquence fail

February 16, 2014

Does eloquence fail?

Is there a way for silver tongues

To lose, and let doubt assail

And let water fill their lungs-

Can kindness lose?

Is there a way for tender hearts

To fail, and then lonesome choose

To let the shrapnel in with its shards-

Something wrong with this poem?
