Words

Words


Words

Seemingly
innocuous
tools of
communication

Letters arranged
in such a way
carry language
across our divides

Thought burps
we release

convey

inner feelings

emotions suppressed 

Words contain
the power of
megaton
bombs

They can destroy nations

They can heal old wounds

Words are the currency
of all mankind

The script of humanity

So don't waste
or abuse
the gift
