Poem: Short but Sweet
The length of a piece
means very little.
A world within
just a few words.
A whole lot of nothing
in a thousand pages.
A soft and sweet lullaby
with a very simple cadence
puts a baby to sleep.
An hours-long concerto
with ever complicated arias
puts an audience
into a coma.
Words of acknowledgment
just a hint or two
lifts the spirit higher
than a rambling dissertation
of how they benefit
from the company's generosity.
A concise explanation of
how life works
serves one more
than a long winded tirade
of every systemic flaw.
Wisdom is knowing
how to teach without
falling in love
with your own voice.
