Words, words, all I hear are words
But who understands the power of words?
They build, they break, they power and shape
But people don't see the pain they create
The walking, the talking, the cussing and Maiming
Do people even know that person their degrading?
All they say are words with no purpose behind
Have they ever stopped and thought what those words unwind?
What if we all stopped- took a moment to pause
Rethought what we said and look at what we caused
Could we change these words to build instead of break
If so we can change our own fate
I write to to make a change that some might think is small
But even if it is I don't care at all
If I reach the world or just help one soul
I have achieved my poems goal
