Its All About Words
Here’s What It Be Like Bro,
“It’s All About Words”
Written: By Tom Wright
2004
Method of conveyance is either verbally or written,
however, on occasion I have been signed.
In anger, we select words, whose purpose is to cut another up,
then from shame, we use other words as sutures to mend the cut.
Yes, words rile, words calm, and words sway,
some make you sound dignified,
while others expose you as the imbecile you try not to be.
They’re spoken in foreign tongue and said with an accent,
at times, they convey a lot, or reveal very little.
Some are two for a nickel,
and others are deemed fifty centers.
Some look very fashionable on paper
while others are a simile of muddy Turkey tracks:
But put together, they make up sentences,
paragraphs, pages, chapters, and on it goes.
