Words- a channel of communication
Words used across the world by every nation,
They create love and understanding, or
Crush your dreams, cause pain or war,
Words as sharp as knives that wound deep inside
Words like magic that open doors of opportunity wide,
Words that make you feel like a princess, a knight
In shining armour, words to calm your fears of the night,
Words of promise, words of hope, words given on oath
Words in church, Gudwarra, synagogue or Mosque, spoken by both
As you promise to love, honour and cherish each other,
Words of hurt, words of laughter, words written in secret by a lover,
Words so small with the power of a deadly toxin
Words with music, words of soul, words to dream in,
How carelessly this power is used
How this language is abused,
The bully, the thug, the intelligent and the ignorant never pause
To think of the damage their words can cause,
Words to sign, words to feel, words to sing
No one escapes the emotions these words can bring,
Words said that should not be, words unspoken that should be
Words set your dreams, worries and aspirations free,
Words- a channel of communication
Words used across the world by every nation,
Words – the power sadly misused by many within these nations
Often without thought to the consequences of their altercations.
