The Value of a Name
The lives I impact are numerous
we don't see the ripples of water that rupture other peoples days
even the tiniest action can deteriorate a mountain
We wonder and whisper hypothesis but we forget about how inanimate objects feel
Assuming they don't matter is a like a solecism
except instead of one's grammar they are misguiding in their character
We prick and peel the faux layers of what is right
and decide to consume and assume the our complex little earth doesn't matter anymore
We lose respect for everyday objects forget how they appeared
The wonder and work dispersed executive plans that are created
every crayon, carton, and container as we forget to take care of them
but do we truly forget or is the value of a pair of scissors like a person without health insurance
We can't just buy another person
Our words cost money
Not real numbers
our emotional immune system
Some people's are large banks of water and other's yield shallow and weak desperate for a drop of grace
The plentiful feelings we crave are as fragile as your grandmothers china
Emotional Depression is the same as being poor
In Mind and Spirit that bottles your feelings
of negative money that delays all healing
Everything has a name no matter how big or small we decide and choose and domineer over them all
There is no sense to call a certain object its name for we conformed to how the world wants it to be
Do we not have a choice in words or a choice in what something is
The pressures of society forces us to cope and comply with every alibi they throw like a baseball game with only splitters
a life without change is full of quitters.
