What Does It Matter

What does it matter Which words we choose to say, When all of them Are devoid of meaning? And as pointless As this poem, And all of my poems Back to back combined, can be... I try to make sense Of why people like me Are allowed to walk Among the living. Should I cease to be now Or wait till something happens to me? It’s all as imperfect As it is impermanent. So what does it matter? What. Does. It. Matter?a

Hey Austin...look at what the words of President Donald Trump have done and you can see...words do matter. There is a ripple effect to all actions/words. And your poem, this poem, reminded me of just that...how important words really are. Thank you...keep writing my poetry friend!
