STICKS AND STONES

Loud mouth stands out of the crowd.
Empty vessels resonate a hollow tone,
Words of frustration lost in translation
Without conceding to misconception.

Thoughts in words we favour to express
That flex the mind themes we replay
Compress and define, freedom of expression
The darker writes are my diffraction.

Wrote for those who favour it not for those
That enslave their hate, peace before and
After war love and hatred is what they saw.

I was shaping thoughts in words which
Led me to unravel barefoot imprints in the gravel.

Zigs, you have managed to capture a moment and then layered it within your words. This won't go to spotlight (please prove me wrong), because so many will read this and know what you are saying and why. We know what it is about and who you represent with your words. I do enjoy your style and thought process. Each line begins with a capital letter, whereas some of those lines are connected to the previous ones and thus I think a small letter would be appropriate. Otherwise it stops and starts...does that make sense? The opening stanza works for me: Loud mouth stands out of the crowd. Empty vessels resonate a hollow tone, Words of frustration lost in translation Without conceding to misconception. Thanks for the write. It has your magic wrapped all around it.
