I have been busy with the start of the semester, but thought I would get something posted to avoid being forgotten entirely! I mean for this to be read rather quickly, to bring out the cadence and avoid the person "hearing" the three word lines. Enjoy.

I wrote this

You read this

-

This was simple

Still is simple

-

Simple is better

Quite simply better

-

Better try hard

(Which is hard)

-

Hard to say

What to say

-

Say “I do”

If you do

-

Do you want

What you want?

-

Want breeds need

Wants more need

-

Need you guess?

No, I guess

-

Guess what’s next

Time is next

-

Next in line

Long time line

-

Line your coat

With a coat

-

Coat the lie

Let it lie

-

Lie in wait

Truth will wait

-

Wait and see

Blind men see

-

See faith dying

Screaming and dying

-

Dying in rage

Rivers of rage

-

Rage against hate

That we hate

-

Hate to halt

As I halt

-

Halt! Who goes?

So it goes

-

Goes to sleep

Where we sleep

-

Sleep is rest

For the rest

-

Rest in peace

Live at peace

-

Peace through faith

Quick rotting faith

-

Faith is reborn

Of doubt reborn
