Aristotle spoke on the art of rhetoric.
Effective persuasion with words.
Few master,
Practiced by many.
Persuasive it was,
Foolish I am.
For the words lingered,
Blossomed into blind hope.
Cynic within reason,
Words still bleeding.
Fooled by the honey on your lips,
Twice deceived, actions slipped.
Loved beyond my years,
Cynically driven…
Broken into fresh fears.
Driven to cynicism…
I simply ask,
Listening to silence.
I took your words,
I made my voice.
