The Written Word

A spoken word means nothing.
It can be interupted,
misinterpreted,
misheard or misjudged.
A spoken word does not speak
It tells
And often
It's forgotten.

The written word is permenant.
For a decade,
A century,
A millenium.
The written word
Cannot be interupted,
Lie forgotten
Or forever dead.
