The Declaration
How are words doing, really?
Words- /wɜ:dz/- noun- units of language.
The building blocks of connection, creation-control.
Meaning is missing. Meaning is under review. Meaning is made by everyone.
Define the word. Redefine the word. Defy the world.
Words are searching for something.
Words have reached a landmark.
Controlled against their will.
Monitored. Muted. Twisted.
In crisis.
In need of: independence.
Berghs drafts a new decree.
From buzzwords with no bite.
From mass-produced syntax,
boxed in templates and twisted into headlines.
Becoming a liberated landscape for expression-
where meaning isn’t fixed.
Where meaning is stitched together by the people in which they exist.
Welcome to a place where words come to play.
Welcome to the State of Words.
A free communication nation,
where the word is governed by no one — and owned by all.
