I conquer the world with words,
conquer the mother tongue,
verbs, nouns, syntax.
I sweep away the beginning of things
and with a new language
that has the music of water the message of fire
I light the coming age
and stop time in your eyes
and wipe away the line
that separates
time from this single moment.

Well, they say the pen is mightier than the sword... but I have to wonder if he isn't going a little far here. It's a romantic idea, and certainly an attractive one, but still, I don't know... the first line is good, but to think he has such power comes across (to me) as vain... maybe I'm not understanding it right, I don't know.
