the audacity of eloquence
eloquence spreads the dictionary over the tongue,
and dips a mans brain drunken with words
that he feels so slippery as marble floors
because the words are escaping the mouth with ease
eloquence is laced with lyrics of pride
for the scholar quotes more than he must
because when he speaks he is ignorantly sure
that english still is the master of negotiations
an eloquent man is verily out-spoken
and he hopes to conquer the earth with words
that can swindle the illeterate just by grammar
is never by the means i will cognomerate a mans actions
i do not judge a soul by its mouth
because words are cheaper than coal
and it takes actions to rank up words
by the accomplishment of every word it has said
