Inspired by a conversation with serendipity

[ayoub]

Use words like swords
And pictures as hammers
With money as the nail
And ego as the vice

But get them to listen
Whatever you do
Get them to listen
To sense

Use facts like bullets
And Truth as the gun
Make fear the target
And hate the sin

But get them to listen
Whatever you do
Get them to listen
To sense

Kill fear with hope
And hate with love
Break stupidity with books
And stubbornness with persistence

But get them to listen
Whatever you do
Get them to listen
To sense

I could go on and on...

Break stupidity with books oh, if only.
we were talking about what stories we're told in american society during brit lit. so the teacher said that what we see are movies, music, tv shows, and then i pipe up and say books. half the class looks at me with funny faces. so it must be just me. 0.o

Books are amazing things... they come alive in your mind...

but not in the minds of my classmates, however. i wish i had a large enough attention span to write a full book. oh well *le sigh*...

All you need is a fixed set of characters, and a location...

Write a few scenes, then link them...

Thank you... repetition is fine, it's a unique method of emphasis
