The Value of a Name

The lives I impact are numerous we don't see the ripples of water that rupture other peoples days even the tiniest action can deteriorate a mountain We wonder and whisper hypothesis but we forget about how inanimate objects feel Assuming they don't matter is a like a solecism except instead of one's grammar they are misguiding in their character We prick and peel the faux layers of what is right and decide to consume and assume the our complex little earth doesn't matter anymore We lose respect for everyday objects forget how they appeared The wonder and work dispersed executive plans that are created every crayon, carton, and container as we forget to take care of them but do we truly forget or is the value of a pair of scissors like a person without health insurance We can't just buy another person Our words cost money Not real numbers our emotional immune system Some people's are large banks of water and other's yield shallow and weak desperate for a drop of grace The plentiful feelings we crave are as fragile as your grandmothers china Emotional Depression is the same as being poor In Mind and Spirit that bottles your feelings of negative money that delays all healing Everything has a name no matter how big or small we decide and choose and domineer over them all There is no sense to call a certain object its name for we conformed to how the world wants it to be Do we not have a choice in words or a choice in what something is The pressures of society forces us to cope and comply with every alibi they throw like a baseball game with only splitters a life without change is full of quitters.
