Verba (translation below)

A Poem by 外人 (Gaijin)
"

My very first poem in latin, it probably sucks, my only goal was writing in this extremely hard language (the hardest I've studied so far) xD

"
Scribe, quod verba valentissima sint,
scribe, quod verba omnia possint.
Quod hodie scribas,
cras mundum mutare potet.
Metue ne non quod vis scribere
ut iustissimum otium est.
Multa dicit verba nihil potent,
noli eos audire !
Maximus est iustae causae ferre
verba gestaque.
Noli eum oblivisci:
Verba valentissima Dei dona sunt;
Noli eis effundere !

TRANSLATION
Title: Words (lit. "spoken/said stuff")

Write, because words are very powerful,
write, because words can do everything.
What you write today
can change the world tomorrow.
Don't be afraid of writing what you want,
since it (writing) is a very fair activity.
A lot of people say words can't do anything,
don't listen to them !
It is of major importance to carry on fair causes
with words and actions.
Don't forget it:
Words are a very powerful God's gift,
Don't waste them !

Word can do everything, but express themselves without themselves. A look, a sigh, the sharp intake of breath, the open mouth gaze of wonder... these express without words. All in all a lovely piece; a nice mixture of subjunctive and imperative; an achievement of learning.

Very cool. I loved the message of the poem, and I think it's fantastic that you're trying to learn another language.

Hi I like this. I have two recommendations. They are small. Remove very before powerful; just have it read, "Write, because words are powerful:- the very is unnecessary because words are inherently powerful. I would also remove the can in front of "do everything," and have the line read "Write, because words do everything." The images are have greater impact if they are not qualified. j'aime toutes les langues!
