Names
Since the dawn of time
we’ve been developing words
to point out and specify what we are thinking.
As the world developed
so did our intelligence and knowledge
of things around us and our fellow man.
At one point we ran out of words
so we borrowed from forgotten languages
in hope of giving everything
something special.
So when did those words
become ammunition to hurt others?
To slander, destroy, and devastate
the ones who never thought to use it like a weapon,
the ones who are minding their own business,
the ones who are fighting a mental battle with themselves,
the ones who don't deserve it.
When did we turn words against ourselves?
