Build a Wall

I marshal my forces.
Stack my words and terms like stones,
Clever sentinels in the parapet,
I construct to stall the world.
Syllables like crumbling mortar,
Sustainable and retainable.
A forest of broken teeth.
Defended by verbal golems,
Endlessly patrolling my moats,
Feeding the crocodiles like infants,
And nearly as dangerous.
Add another prefix, suffix, verb.
Pile it ever higher,
Look how it shines in the light.
A wondrous wall of words.
