Words have life.
When you water them,
With truth, morality
Equality, liberty, fraternity
Democracy, human rights, peace,
Love, compassion, humanity,
Nonviolence, safety
They cherish life.
When words dance
They cherish life.
Words have death.
When you hurt them,
With your brutal words
Hate letters, truth-less words
Empty words, demeaning words
Damaging words, destroying words
Dehumanizing words, humiliating words
Threatening words, Holocaust words
Genocide words, casteist words,
Honour killing words, lynching words
Words bleed and die.
Just like our living creatures.
Words have heart.
When you destroy
Its meaning, its scope
Its spirit of peace
The soul of the word
Words break into a cracked mirror.

- Comment from author about the poem: Life and death of a word: animal lives matter; do not kill them and do not eat them. They do have lives like humans. ============================================================================================================================ “Never Again 2010, July 4, October 7”. 2010 is the year my first baby was a victim of honor killing in India. It is Hindu terrorism against humanity. July 7, 2023, is the date when my second baby boy Stanford was killed by forceful vaccination by a German gynecologist in Germany, and October 7, 2023, is the modern holocaust of the Jewish community committed by Muslims, in which crimes against humanity and crimes against peace have taken place.
