End of the Word.

 

Some old ones produce the lick and pun

And get away with such today.

Yet even older ones know of

Egotism and pride.

The oldest,

Know not of corruption.

Yet my friends take no heed

Of such ancient thought and lore.

Brilliant piece. I think there is more here to be read "between the lines" ...

i like it...its a contemplator...but i like it...

i think i know what you are saying...so in other words, the human race, or any race for that fact, does not learn from their mistakes, which leads them to the destruction of their race. And i think an individual in society chooses not to recognize the corruption, and fears to stand up for what makes sense, and therefor just sits by and waits....correct me if i am wrong.

this is cryptic, almost mythological in its language use. can't say i fully understand what is going on here, but a couple of the lines, like, "some old ones produce the lick and pun" and "of such ancient thought and lore" are quite good. my only criticism, is that after the first line, it doesn't have a great deal of substance in the middle. but still, like i said, not too sure.
