The Potency of Words
Words speak life! Words are not mute.
They give wings to ideas and how thoughts commute.
Words take a feeling and are sent to convey
A passion or meaning in all that we say.
Words resonate power, they create an impression
They give substance to love and a voice to expression.
In their varied and intricate methods of sharing
Words define people and deserve shrewd preparing.
Words are a healer or words are a sword.
The companion of kings, and what fools can't afford.
Words are a needle, from the depths of our hearts
Like a phonograph blaring, our choice and foul parts.
Words ought to speak truth, but words can lie
They can free the accused or sentence to die.
What you say matters more than all else you possess
Words will govern your future and dictate duress.
