The Word Misused I Am
I am the word
wrongly
used....misused/ In a
layman's
terms I've been ill-
treated....abused/ A
professional
might say I've been
charged with
serious crimes such as
death....accused/ In
circumstances
where a word for morally
corrupt
desires would be placed,
I've been
placed
instead....confused/ In
situations and relations
where
I've been understood and
carefully managed or
used/ by
managers or users, I've
left them
smiling some even
laughing....amused/
Some say when they hear
my
name all they remember
is the
time I left hurt scratches
on
them....bruised/ Before
existence
of man I existed, but can
I say I've
been released from my
duty....excused/ I have
appeared
in blockbuster movies,
best selling
books and novels. I've
hosted and
featured in the most sold
songs.
Most religions emphasise
the
usage of me, but the
usage of me
has been
minimised....reduced/
Before I take a bow. I
appreciate
those who not only
understood
me but combined me
with fellow
good words....fused/
But yet still I might I've
been used
or misused. Abused or
accused.
Confused or amused.
Bruised or
excused. Reduced or
fused.
I am The Word Misused I
Am....
LOVE....
