This poem is an excellent poem by K.C. Hingley
Words
Oh! Words! Be mine and save me
From this wretched life of slavery
Oh! Words! Combine and let me
Escape this world of melancholy
What I'd give to be less free
To let the machine guide me
To work from 9 'till 5
And never know if I'm alive
Oh! Words! You lie and twist me
To your subtle knavery
Oh! Words! You bind and break me
In your backward mockery
What I'd give to be more free
To watch the waves and let the wind blow me
To ride the viewless wings of poesy
And live a life, oh! So romantically
Oh! Words I've heard
And words I've seen
Words I've thought
And words I've dreamed
I'll grow my wings and tame thee
Ere this shell is all but dead
And they'll call my name and cage me
In my pages to be read.
