The DEvltn of Wrd

what happens when words go to war?

In the beginning, there was the

Word

And that word curved in absurd triangles traced stencils and made sentences

Sentences then sang songs in forms of eons and a graphed the paths of paragraphs

Paragraphs split seeds,

Spit evil deeds and good intentions

And the glow grew 40 stories and the radiance was glorious

Furious was the Darkness and Ignorance ignored the brilliance

They mixed vowels, dangled participles, crossed T’s and dotted I’s

And writer’s block was born in the sighs of demised cries

The consonants constantly ran amok,

Chaos engulfed the grammar

Tragically trimming the wisdom with a dyslexic hulking hammer

Dictionaries cannibalized encyclopedias and Thesaurus saw us

Red pens slinked from the sludge and tattooed the town

Hymns and ballads were the first to go down

And we locked ourselves in the tower of intellect and creation

Our station brke aprt and couldn’t reach anee for communeekation

The alfa wuz flawed and beta got klostrfobic

S-O-S!

Ess-oh-ess!!

SMH, LOL, LMFAO and broken sell fones

Weve mass prodused clones and tumors that eat Poemz

All Phucked now, we stare as the siti wallz collapse

Wee neede Halp, the dronz have breeched the system

Homo fones wit boms disman(tell) tha Wizdom

Is anneeone out there?

Kum bak home

Kum bak h…

Transmission terminated…

Wrapped up in lace and sewiside bombers.....amazing what it has come down to. One thought on the texting language....we all think that its bullshit and ruining our kids lives, but in corporate america, the top nuts would kill for someone to come up with that kind of efficiency in everday business. Sweet writing, glorious message now hold your hand out I'm going to give you a Benjamin for your troubles and then borrow it back so I can put a bet on a game. Soon as I win, I'll pay you back.

YeeEEs! Sing it to the masses, brother! Society has become lazy with the written language and it makes me insane. This is fanfuckingtastic! It describes well what has become of our language. Product labels are no longer capitalizing. 'I' has become an epidemic of 'i' across the world. We're being plagued by there, there and there! The insanity must be stopped!
I absolutely love this line:
"Dictionaries cannibalized encyclopedias and Thesaurus saw us"
though the entire thing is poetic beauty. Love this. All hail the monster of slime.

I love this one!!! it's different to your normal! but good and very intelligent as always - the shift from the traditional word to the broken down crap people use now!! it was different but retained your signature "slime"!!!

A very interesting write...but in the words lurks the truth..have we taken away the old and replaced it with the new...i do believe we have!

[Poetic Beauty]

I love this poem. It is amazing that we shorten everything and with spell check these days people will have the right word wrong spelling. This whole poem story makes a great deal of sense to me well I struggle with the beginning but I got the meaning. Great thoughts put on paper. Are we so lazy that we can open a book to find a spelling for a word.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

You must go with the flow or get washed up on shore... some fun and intellectual writing, it would be great to see you read this on stage.

[Nothing Personal]

Wow. Achieved Bivalent greatness. 1. Because it's so lethal, novel and good.
2. Because it shows the evolution of a language..

Absolutely wonderful is the way it ended..going to texts, shorter forms, disastrous spellings and finally termination of a language. makes a serious point about where language is headed.
Once again, E.H fails to disappoint..at all...

another astounding piece coach! witty and hit's the bulls eye...i am no stranger to the point riased here..and to be honest have been the culprit of stabbing that language i love the most...can't deny that i have contributed towards its death...or even worst...raping its soul. a thought provoking write this one and certainly leaves its imprints on readers mind.
