COMICS & POEMS 2: War of the Words, Poetry Feature

War of the Words

Amidst the raging rant,
Of arrogant academics,
Truth is re-sculptured,
By pompous polemics.

A cacophonous discourse,
Breeds a deadly delusion.
Induced verbal visions,
Of a linguistic illusion.

Wedded in the words,
Of a lyrical lechery,
Are specious spouses,
Of the tongue's treachery.

Admonished adherents,
Mass in hypnotized herds
All to bear witness,
To another War of the Words.


--Written by Phillip Darrell Collins
