The Power of Words
The power of words; the potential of letters,
A simple syllable can make things better.
Soft, harsh, dull bright,
Every polished thought shines a light,
On things we hide, on things we expose;
Words will always make the truth known.
Great writers, speakers, artists,
Cannot deny how spirituous this art is.
Gripping the pen, encompassed by emotion,
I write away all my opinions.
Sorrow for the ones who lost it all,
Joy for the ones who overcame their downfall,
Anger for a crime and an injustice served,
Patience for a system that might never work.
When thoughts like these can be expressed,
When poetry thwarts them from being suppressed.
A love for poetry cannot be denied,
But only understood and magnified.
