There are no words.
In fact, there haven't been words for a while.
But their absence has gone unnoticed.
Until now. HOW?
You see, lately there has been a shortage.
A shortage, in our time and age.
There have been no words on the page.
RAGE.
But now that we know,
we won't fall so low.
We know which way to go.
GO GO GO.
So now we're trying to cope.
Oh, have some hope!
Don't tie us down with a rope
Don't. Mope.
We're trying to cope with the scarcity
but it's a tough struggle.
We have contacted the Dictionary,
we have lodged a complaint.
<NO RESPONSE>
Not yet anyway.
Meanwhile, the Thesaurus
yeah, it's gone missing too.
WARNING:
We said there was a shortage,
a scarcity.
<of words> in our city.
A Depression in the word worLd?
You ask. While in the sun, you bask.
Oh, it's too much of a task.
Let's just put on a mask.
<to escape the depression>
But, no more digression.
It's the word depression.
So much so, that we're adding
the letter 'L' to the word 'word'
We're adding, and hence constructing
another word?
Oops, we meant
WOR<L>D
So much so, a phrase of scarcity.
So much so, the we repeat the word
SO twice- in a three word phrase.
Such is this phase.
The Word Depression.
Such is this phRase.
Ph<R>ase
We're resorting to
mathematical calculations
and/or chemical reactions.
And when we do so,
We get-
And/or
<The only time we have
an alternate word>
Note to self: Don't go so far as to say abundance.
And in these times of need,
Oh, won't you pay heed.
In the word crisis, we have
the audacity to
discard and dismiss
words.
Discard and dismiss the word abundance.
Oh, the irony of the word crisis.
Epiphany:
Maybe there is no word crisis.
Maybe there's a worLd crisis.
Maybe they're distracting us with the former
in order to keep the latter a top secret.
In order to maintain order.
It's a word conspiracy.
It's the world's word conspiracy.
Because evidently there's no shortage
of words.
After all, we're so many words
into this word crisis
or conspiracy.
PICK YOUR WORD.
PICK YOUR WEAPON.
Whatever.
It's a multiple choice question.
It's not the word depression okay?
The word crisis was just a cover up
for the number crisis.
But we fell back
on mathematical calculations.
We fell into their trap.
Their CRAP.
Because, you see
there is no shortage.
There ARE words.
Rhyming words, even- trap crap
Rapping words, even-
If you pull that crap, you're in a trap!
Repetitive words, even- even words
Evidence:
Three words with the letter R-
Rhyming Rapping Repetitive
Oh you could spout poetry-
poetry on handwritten manscripts
no blank wordless parchments.
Cause the truth is,
we need
the scales to balance.
Cause the truth is,
we are
addicted to the equilibrium.
The numbers go
down
-
up
The words come
Or maybe,
The numbers have gone up
and that's why we are
taking words down.
Who knows.
What does Who know?
Mission: Go find Who
Take him under custody,
threaten him, demand he
tell us what he knows.
Who the hell here knows Who?
Find Who.
Figure this out.
