I’ve never been good at speaking.

I-I-I st-stutter over words

L-like my m-mouth is leaking,

Dripping and seeping the very things

That make us human.

Language is our best trait,

Our best quality if you use

It with the right quantity.

My words can bring up your mood

And it can bring it down some too.

 

Your words are powerful!

Language can defend the innocent

And speak against the tyrants.

Language is everything.

By the time you were two, they all

Wanted you to talk.

By the time you were six, they

Wanted you to shut up already!

But you didn’t.

By that time you had the freedom to

Speak, and speak you did.

 

As for me, I’m not very good at speaking.

I-I-I st-stutter over words

L-like my m-mouth is leaking.

But I keep t-talking anyway.

Because I have language instilled in me,

Because I have the freedom to use

Speech as a weapon,

To use speech as a tool,

As somebody’s sanction,

As medicine for a wound dug deep

By none other than…

Words.

 

Life has always been a battle between

Good and Evil.

The Good use words for healing,

While the Bad use words for destruction.

Everyone is born with the power to choose

Whether they shall be Good,

or if they shall be Evil.

Every day we make small decisions

That shape our fate of Good and Evil.

Every sentence we form,

Every syllable we make,

Can change our lives for the better

Or for the worse.

 

And I’m not all that good at speaking.

I-I-I st-stutter over words

L-like my m-mouth is leaking.

But that doesn’t stop me from

Speaking out against the injustices

Made everyday towards those

Who deserve it least.

Their own words caught in their throats,

As sentences roll of their enemies tongues,

Helpless.

The word helpless has a negative connotation

And it sweeps across every nation

Blinding the deaf and sickening the weak.

Forcing insults down their

Throats and screaming

“Chew it and swallow!”

And the helpless do just that.

Because when other people’s words

Are stuck in your mouth

You can’t make many of your own to stop them.

Now, I’m not awfully good at speaking.

I-I-I st-stutter over words

L-Like my m-mouth is leaking,

But when you tell me to shut up

I only have one word for you:

 

No.
