The Word

In the beginning was the Word, so they say. God said the Word was good, we are told, so we rejoice in the Word. But where is the Word that stops bullets from flying, bombs from falling, and missiles from exploding? Where is the Word that allows people to come out from huts and caves, to stand listening to the silence?

I like the authenticity in this.. I do believe that humans have a decanted power in their own words; stop, no, we refuse, we choose a different way.. and poets, ofcourse, we know the power of words to heal the human condition. Nice write - certainly a challenge :)
