Be Conscious

you have no idea
how much power
you wield

a word a smile
a minute of your time
enough to touch a soul
to shatter or heal a heart
be conscious of your strength
you have the capacity
to be superhero
or archvillain

let's make this world
a better place
there’s thirst for harmony
and need for healing

There is so much need for healing; and we are the healers, let us not forget that, it is probably what makes us poets.

Line G., great words to share. I'm against people who bully, however sometimes I find myself standing up to bullies and trolling them, I don't know if you call that a double standard : ( ... Harmony sounds good, thanks for sharing your thriving thoughts. Always and forever, Linda

Sounds like you're giving them a taste of their own medicine, Linda. Nothing wrong with that.
