Within the Speech
By Paul Andrew Bourne, 2006
I see emptiness in their jargons
I see corruption in their intent
What is uttered is not meant
in their speech its not words,
it�s a craft �
a toy engineered for fools
it�s one that ostracized, but divide
I see through the speech �
for within the speech it�s emptiness
crown master
they label a speech,
they label a tale,
they label the Bible,
they label poverty
but they label not its solution
but they say
�I can�
�I can� they say -
�I can be anything� but little did I understood
but within the structure
the obstacles are plenty
For it has taken
Observation�s experiences
for the lesson to ferment in my wounds
that �I can�
wasn�t for I man
It is as though I�m lost in the challenges
of trying to survive
that what I hear, Is
� I can die�
�I can die poor but happen�
for the its easy for a rich
man to enter heaven
before the camel goes through
a needle eye
You can die is what is meant
but in the increment of time
what is echoed is �I can�
is a dialectic within the speech �
as you could
if they wanted you to
it has nothing to do with your effort
as if I could, I would
Yes I would have done it already
but it�s to decipher the message
within the speech
as only a revolution will foster
�I can� with the same set of
challenges as those who preach,
within the speech
