Words

Words are like a work of art The visions they create They can show us beauty Or show us how to hate Words can tell a story Of romance and of love Or nursery rhymes for children Or tell of God above Words can be persuasive And create a law Words can tell the news and weather And tell what people saw Words have even caused great Wars Where many men have died Sending home what's left of The ones who did survive Shakespeare used them beautifully As did Frost and Poe and Keats Langston Hughs, Maya Angelou Emily Dickenson and Yeats So choose words very carefully Be aware of what you say Cause words can really hurt someone And they can't be cast away.
