Castle Paradox

[Artimus Bena]

My frustration has finally gotten to me. Unable to critique, unable to write, I have forsaken words!! And this is my letter to all of you criminals who call yourselves writers:


____________________________________________________


What good is the word? All it does is sit there. Writing a word has no purpose to it! It is an utter waste of time! Furthermore, it keeps no appreciation for the one who places it there. And you! You who would write this word, have no inkling what laziness you provoke! All your delicate choosing, and hard, hard work becomes a grain of… something small, while that ungrateful word eats at the paper you guilty people placed it upon, whilst you think nothing of the crime you’re allowing to pass! You, my friends, are what’s called an accessory!

Whoever said the pen was mightier than the sword was obviously a fat, lazy person as lethargic as that shame of a word they wrote! Worse! They wrote strings of words! (Sometimes called “Sentences”—an unusually evil word in itself.) Heresy of the soul! I’m fairly sure such a person was never a knight. Pens don’t cleave people into two, you see. Quite candidly, the sight of a knight donning a shielding and wielding a quill, with naught but ink, not blood, to spill, is not a thing any decent man would cower from!

You smug authors, and you pompous writers are tramps for thinking you may get away with your sniveling, degrading behavior.

The worst of you? Poets. There’s no merit in rhymes. And any who write them should be burned along with any who write sentences!

Ignominy, I say! Scoff you may!

Baboons cannot rhyme, but that doesn’t make poets special!

What good is the word? It’s as good as you sniveling dolts!


But, I’ve got one question for you, the reader (who is just as guilty for the lazy crime of words), if you were to write just one word, what would it be?

No worries.... You may be content, that no matter what word you write, it won’t mean a thing.

One word eh? Oximoron.

Guilty.

[Joe Man]

What if the word happens to be my password? Mine isn't a word, as to avoid problems with hackers, but I think a lot of people wold like it if I said my password.

Also, not only did you write word, but you wrote strings of words, a horrible mistake on your part.

Edit: And, due to the irrelevance of your word and mine, I don't believe it makes any difference what word I say, nor how many I say.

Indeed.

[Jjkaybomb]

Is that your one word?

Why?

...
That is not all, friend, and fellow writer. I have to ask you now.
What provoked this renegade outburst of such rogue proportions, Bena? What trodden, befouled thoughts of such a reclusive nature are these? Have all writers done you wrong? Have all authors, lyrists, and poets afflicted so much damage upon your soul? What of those such as I? I am a writer, author, and believe it or not, a poet. Have I done thee wrong as of yet? There are others like myself. Half of the reward is looking for them. Even grizzly stones may hide a brilliant treasure within.

Still;
All the power to you, Bena.

Seems kinda random and... Dumb to me.

No offense.

A bit wordy, too.

Don't you think then pen often is mightier then the sword though? I mean, look how much the media controls our societies... Or how much a book, such as the Bible, or the Da Vinci Code, or On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection, has affected our society.

It's not supposed to be taken literally ...

But it is supposed to be wordy.

The point of it is the irony; the person I'm writing as thinks words are evil, and sentences are worse, but writes both in the same thought.

This was all a big joke. May your head catch fire and your underpants be too tight. *bows and 'leves'.

interesting take on words. though its not so much the single word that writers and poets focus on, more the context and the order of the words in their sentences and structures. But its still pretty funny!
