Keep My Memories

The words I speak The words I keep Keep the thoughts Keep the power Power to hurt Power to heal Heal the pain Heal the wounds Wounds of words Wounds of knives Knives that sting Knives that cut Cut the ropes Cut the lifelines Lifelines are pointless Lifelines hold you back Back to the future Back to the past Past the people Past the ideas Ideas of pain Ideas of joy Joy for words Joy for worlds Worlds of imagination Worlds of writing Writing is speaking Writing is poetry Poetry is beauty Poetry is words Words that comfort Words that kill Kill the guilty Kill the innocents Innocents who speak Innocents who die Die for our country Die for our people People that hate People that love Love hates innocents Love hates hate Hate loves the ruthless Hate loves speech Speech kills pens Speech saves memories Memories of life Memories of death Death...
