WORDS

An Acrostic

WORDS

 

Without words to facilitate thought and articulate ideas; we would still be living in caves grunting and moaning our way to oblivion; while staring at empty faces and eating rotted meat

Or instead of choosing extinction; we could create a new language devoid of those wordy hurdy burly words, and learn to chirp, tweet; whistle and sing like songbirds and nightingales, and maybe even learn to fly

Reading and writing would no longer be required; for the sounds of our chirp’s beeps and tweets, would be music to our ears, and that is all that our little brains would require; while we scurry around in our nests, regurgitating our food into the mouths of our young

Dreams and Reality will no longer have their own line of demarcation: for without words to define, catalogue, and describe the difference between the two; our minds would wander and get trapped in the psychosis of tweetism and our spirits would flitter away like feathers in the wind  

Scientists of futures past have stated that a Wordless Armageddon would be the ruin of society:That flying bird people chip chip chirping away in search of sticks and worms; would not be conducive to a thriving civilization. Man would rather eat steaks, than seed.  Without words: it would also be impossible for you to read this diatribe of muddled rationality while profusely cursing the idiot who dared to write this drivel of oddly odd nonsense filled with big words tiny words small words foolish words funny words delectable words and words of any kind- that juicy worm looks quite delicious…

Mind blown! This was simply wonderful, insightful and thought provoking. The line ' Reading and writing would no longer be required', is terribly scary to me as a writer. But it's also probably my favourite line...
