I think the poem speaks about the
loss of action, the loss of the strength of words. A verb is
an action; it represents the fact that something is being done. The
speaker wants words to come out as intense as they are thought. With time,
people have become more silent in some ways, stopped saying things the way they
think them--dressing them up for others to feel better, people feel afraid to
act; to oppose what they feel is unfair. I think the speaker wants these
instincts to be free again. I think the author feels like people don’t work as
hard as they used. He wants the blood, sweat , and tears of the word verb to
come back. This message is sent by this line, “the blood of those who have spoken
and those who have not spoken.”
