Just Words

If people were held accountable for What they SAY ....in the same way ...as we are for...what we DO ( we'd all be locked up doing life ...or HEROS ) think about it ?

 

Lord ...protect  me

from late night encounters

of the.... word kind

Generating empty topics

through my phone line

Insipid converstion....

of the worst kind

 

Complete mental anethesia ....

of my Third eye

my task to deal and bear it

 

Empty promise indulging

"sweet nothings"....... gone savage

the meaning...

so lost

your brain....under average

 

Dial tone ....finally comes

I rebuke what I heard....

Brush it off...

back to sleep

after all....

They're just words

Wow! At least I'm truly grateful that I don't at least have your phone number, and even if I had it that I wouldn't be one of the unlucky few who've attempted calling you, if not then at least it's a good thing knowing that this poem doesn't have my name written on it. Such firey anger you have! But at least ... they're just words. Or are they really?

i love this!!
and the verse at the end so true.
when someone says something to me and then says they don't mean it i always think of that verse and how what comes out of your mouth is whats really in your heart.
but sometimes yes, they are just words
gotta brush it off

wonderfully done!

If at first you don't succeed, deny, deny, deny. :D Really though, this is well written, and you can make us almost hear the words, but still leave them just out of our grasp.

I found affinity with this � excellent!

what you describe here is so true; words can really harm a person although we try to dismiss them when we are hurt. i particularly enjoyed the poem written as a prayer, really enhances your message.

complete mental anethesia...great line.
after all...
they're.....just words..wonderful conclusion

you highlighted just the right words.

exceptional work, much enjoyed.

peace, my friend.

I have entered lots of contests, and won ribbons in very few. So...first off, I envy your courage in choosing to work with someone else's words. I find that not many would follow your path for, you see, I put up restrictions in some of my contests. There are plenty of views, but few if any entries. You did exceedingly well with placing these words in this. "...lat night encounters of the word kind" is especially a good line, as is the last: "They're .....just words" tying it up in a neat package. You've managed to include a very profound message within the poem as well. Good work. Hope you won. ; )
