Defining the Meaning of Words

Angry words come running
out of a foul's mouth
without prudence or modesty;
condemning,cursing and defaming
whoever speaks of truth and honesty,
to appease their illogical doubt...

Gentle words, filled with contrivance,
flowing from a convivial heart 
can make the biggest difference:  deleting 
an incident,which occured along the way;
loving words can put out the firing remarks
and have the audacity of keeping them away...  

 Brazen words have been the cause
of disrupted relations and friendships,
endagering peace and troubling
the minds of those who labored hard
to insure that it wouldn't fall apart;
only the skeptics see it failing... 
 
Scathing and scurrilious words
hurt and leave deep scars
to enunciate their grief,ambivalence
and their wounded humanenness;
so ignoble is the inward hypocrisy
of the the inbecile who claims supremacy...

Up-lifting and inspiring words can elevate
a low ego to new heights:
like the silenced ones who were limited
by self-epression that now finds
a strong voice in their exquisiteness,
to attain the perfect concordance...
