Words Are the Soldiers
Words are the soldiers
Letters form words they are my fabric
Brought together without hate or prejudice
Compose messages of truth and often tragic
Ending lives creating boundaries we call justice
created equal because words are there for all of us to use
free from prejudice, love, and hate
words to shape our civilizations to express our views
offer praise to the deserving and for the hated seal their fate
innocent by their unspoken intent
tone and colour do not exist
weapons of mass destruction ever present
miss used, miss quoted. miss understood evil motives will persist
words misused to bring us fear
contentious agendas are driven by the needs of the few
truthful or not once given a voice can draw us near
command our attention and offer direction when we don't know what to do
victimized by the intentions perceived
guideline created, policies initiated
twist the truth, hide proof until and make us believe
to protect what we love and condemn who is hated
spoken in tones to enlighten, inform and insight
letters placed side by side to create a word
ignite our souls to learn of atrocities and fight for what we believe to be right
the most powerful weapon in the hands of power never heard
