Where the Real Reason Lies


We live a world

Filled with businessmen

And engineers

And numbers

There are too many numbers

But not enough words

 

The problem

Numbers are infinite

But words have an end

Only so many exist

 

But what we have

Is the ability

To put them in any structure we want

Create new meanings

Even with the same arrangement of letters

 

There is only an end

If we allow it to exist

We have the power

To defy the the end

We must defy the end

 

Poetry makes you limitless

We must exceed any limits

That stand before us

We must be poets

To push bounderies
