Mechanics
English is not enough
Sentiment cannot be bound by syntax
Punctuation cannot portray passion
Grammar cannot grant the grieving soul grace
Words
Words are a well to a worn world
Words may work wonders
Words may wane the bitterness in the wicked
Words may provide a wake for the weary to ride
Politics
Schedules do not comfort the scared
Meetings do not console the mourning
Appointments do not aid the aching
Policies do not provide peace
Actions
Actions are the answer
Actions may have the ability to change all
Actions may be an ark to an ailing world
Actions may accommodate the needs of all

But they can also destroy.
