The imperative is a grammatical mood that forms commands or requests, including the giving of prohibition or permission, or any other kind of advice or exhortation.
An example of a verb in the imperative mood is be in the English sentence "Please be quiet". Imperatives of this type imply a second-person subject (you); some languages also have first- and third-person imperatives, with the meaning of "let's (do something)" or "let him/her/them (do something)" (these forms may alternatively be called cohortative and jussive).
Imperative mood can be denoted by the glossing abbreviation IMP. It is one of the irrealis moods.
Imperative mood is often expressed using special conjugated verb forms. Like other finite verb forms, imperatives often inflect for person and number. Second-person imperatives (used for ordering or requesting performance directly from the person being addressed) are most common, but some languages also have imperative forms for the first and third persons (alternatively called cohortative and jussive respectively).
A tree with no leaves, clothed in wood
cracks the vacant sky with its jagged paths
its waiting and anticipating
the moment when spring reveals itself
and the tree will remember what its like to be beautiful
Let us sing of this greatness
can you feel the vibrations?
let us throw our words and feel the sensations
can you feel the sensations?
let us create our art
let us perform our lives
let us be your destiny
And your eyes, the honest lands horizon
littered with nothing but life
is a contrast of vacant and occupied space
Let us sing of this greatness
can you feel the vibrations?
let us throw our words and feel the sensations
can you feel the sensations?
let us create our art
let us perform our lives
let us be your destiny
And your eyes, what is up from this ground will always be pure
and we shall not hear nor speak nor see a false truth
we shall not hear nor speak nor see a false truth
we shall not hear nor speak nor see a false
Let us sing of this greatness
can you feel the vibrations?
let us throw our words and feel the sensations
can you feel the sensations?
let us create our art
let us perform our lives
let us be your destiny
and your eyes.
