Words Are Power

words are power God is love an words are power, By words manlipulate’s the hour, And get the masses thinking. Strong prophets see it rightly ours, Followers hang on the word that flower’s, Because, because, because. The spoken word becomes the deed, The great unwashed, sub-conscious feed, And it becomes reality. The one God creates by thought, We can too, but fall way short, Great faith does bring you clarity.

A poem that speaks the truth so well. Words can bring one person terrible pain or deep joy. They can also make a whole nation rethink all they know, ether for good or bad...Look at what Hitler was able to do with just words..Wonderful poem, speaks to the heart...Linda
