Echoes

The impact of a word or a saying in today’s world only does so much.
Becoming a mere echo in a hidden cave. 

But when you give that word purpose: 
to inspire, to act, or to create. 
The impact becomes so significant that it influences people’s lives,
influences their thoughts,
and maybe even cause them to change, 
and nothing is more powerful than a changed mind. 

If the purpose behind that word is hate, 
Then it’s only as good as the waste we through into the oceans. 

It is with love and only love 
that one word, 
one act, 
one hand, 
one man or 
one women can change the world.
