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
