I wish we only spoke in verse:
If prose was not allowed in speech,
And minds rephrased each thought before
It fitted into patterned lines,
Think how much less of hurtful noise
Or harmful rage would be expressed?
There'd be a world of silences,
And we would all then thinkers be,
And only that which qualified
As poetry would pass our lips.
