Words on a page

Funny isn't it?

The words on this page

Will have no effect on you

Because to you

They come from someone 

You neither know

Nor care for 

But the words on this page

Do have a meaning 

Every word has a meaning

In the dictionary

But some words 

Just get overlooked 

The word 
"Death"

Does not make your heart race

Or your eyes widen

The word 
"Pain" 

Will not falter your reading

Or stop your thinking

Words such as 
"I love you" 

Are over used 

And thus have no meaning anymore

Like when you print too much money

And that money then has no value

If I typed the words

"I want to die"
You wouldn't react 

Or feel pity 

Because they're just words

From someone you don't know

But, if I typed the words

"You have ink on your face" 
You would check

Strange isn't it?
Where are priorities now lie

Not with others 

But with ourselves 

And no one else

Because 

Over time 

We have become such selfish creatures

Thinking only about ourselves

And how to get more

Than we already have 
Funny isn't it?
