Word

A conglomerate of thoughts
some say it's the world 
it's the gift given to mankind 
a prophecy into the spirit 


A master of silence 
a word spoken, is a silence broken 
a silence broken,  is a soul touched 
a soul touched,  is a world changed 


Speak it!  it's the word.
A small giant of immense value 


A tool in the hands of the wise 
and he uses,  and it transforms to light 
a weapon in the hands of the foolish 
he uses,  and it transforms to fight 


Speak the right word,  and build an empire 
a word spoken,  a brick laid on the sand of time.
