Sticks And Stones

Sticks And Stones

 

Sticks and stones the elementary pair

Can be used to cause great damage

Or to build things from ground to air

 

Fundamental materials for life these two

yet they can be fashioned to break bones

Still there’s a greater threat to me and you

 

For what shapes the course of one’s life

Can literally crush the soul of our loves

And can be the instigator of all strife

 

What is it that helps someone else feel

The great emotions within our heart

While secretly holding the power to kill

 

These have framed the greatest of all

the documents of history and art that be

And the tools that also caused them to fall

 

I am afraid that we have been lied to…

And from a very early age deceived

With a nursery rhyme that’s just not true

 

Far just like picking up sticks and stones

Words can be used to build Great things

Or to break someone’s destiny bones

 

Because when it comes to setting tones

We must remember this truth as we speak

WORDS… are… Sticks… And… Stones
