Words held up
Words fall down,
Coerce, betray
Power of say

Thought into being
Divine intent
Sublime Lament
Testify, lie

Rhyme, rap,
float on high
Pervade dreams
Persuade, pierce
Convey pain

Double-edge knife
Give and take away
Fleeting and infinite
Reprise or pray

Join and separate
Purge and convict
Restore and redeem
Dismay
