I Do Not


 

Words and idioms,

Their sound and systems

And

Their meanings,

How often

Do they synchronize,

I know

They hardly ever do.

There are many words

In different languages

That indicates the same thing,

Give the same meaning;

I use them

To impose me upon others

Or to dictate

And fall back on words

That is holy.

I do not repent.
