"the only thing one man may do for the world is inspire others to change it.


the secret to making literate sound powerful
multi-syllable words throw about
Comparative metaphor and similes
Words from the depths of english
Long since retired from public use
That bring to thoughts of past poets
Who have masters the skill
We Intended to fake our talent in
Talk of liberty and freedom
Though the meaning of the comvibe letters
Have long since be lost
To the fault of incompetents
Like you and me
Talk enormous
War, happiness, the meaning of the universe
All this thing beyond understand
You must pretend you understand them
Be vague
So others may add meaning
Because it powerful
To appeal to what people want to hear

that others know the way

that hope has purpose

we all feel
And pandering to that
Is easy

I never understood why people said they didn't know how to write with power.
