Words

This is to remind us WORDS have the power to change peoples lives, make one happy or sad, bring joy or pain...remember to think about not only what we say, but how we say it.

WORDS

 

Words are used everyday

They are a tool that translates our Spirit

They give hints of our character, if spoken in truth

To those around that can hear it

 

 

Though sometimes words aren’t as they seem

It depends on who is the speaker

And some are formed to give us strength

While others are uttered to make us seem weaker

 

 

Often in anger words are used

To bruise one’s very soul

The scar they leave will forever be

No matter how much the other tries to console

 

 

Words bind agreements, or can break them apart

It depends which way they are used

They can testify for the innocent in a court of law

Or if not spoken, continue to harm the abused

 

 

Words are taught by parents to their young

They help their vocabulary grow

And we are so proud as they begin to speak

Of course, until they repeat what we don’t want others to know

 

 

Politicians use words cleverly,

To persuade you to vote for them

Preachers use words with fire and brimstone,

Urging us to turn away from sin

 

 

Teachers use words to educate us

They help our mind expand

Activist use words to spout their cause

So others know exactly where they stand

 

 

Lovers use words provocatively

Sometimes whispered in the ear

Enemies use words to call for wrath

Pretending they haven’t any fear

 

 

So remember each time before you speak

View carefully your words of choice

The ones used tell much about you

And can determine the strength of your voice.

[Moonlit-Blues]

Always the perceptive! Some of the sentences are quite lengthy, may wish to edit that, may not. Beautifully perceptive and exceedingly accurate. Though, sometimes words and their hidden meanings can be misinterpretated. One has to be wise and look at all the possibilites before trying to dechiper what was meant. Lovely introspective in there. Thanks for the wonderful read!
