New Standards

Hold yourself to standards higher than most.
Listening to the patterns in our words,
There is rhythm in every thing we say.
The span of one breath is all that we need.

Anything that can't be said in that time
May not be worth the breath it takes to say.
We grow uncomfortable in silence.
May the quietness of the world ring loud.

Teach yourself the strength to abstain from speech.
Shape each thought into a hardened diamond.
The blows will land without any remorse.
Language will triumph over all its foes.
