Infinite Dictionary


With such tenacity in the eyes of the living with remnants in the souls of the dead with persecution of those who do not understand the disheveled souls search for a meaning to be alive to be living to be dead can a simple dictionary profess the meaning of such terms? can one be living but not alive? can one be alive while dead? the definition can fall askew to the means of society the terms can be mangled and mis shapen the words can mean what you want although a heart can be beating the lungs breathing blood flowing can a soul still be present? with no identity no sense of self no sense of hope can someone be living? just another number in the mix a number in the progressive state of history a number that changed no one but numbers in the whole that changed everyone is there ever a word with only one meaning? with so many meanings and definitions can there only be one? the definition of such broad terms as beauty humanity brutality is not in the eyes of the beholder? with so many people in the world why is there no one to question the skewed, yet accepted meanings why is there no infinite dictionary to the questions of the world?
