Words have power
Strung together like pearls, an art in itself
They uplift and empower
Create indignity and shatter confidence
Condemn and create drama
Existing for a brief moment in time
Yet, can ring for a lifetime
A victim of life
A prison to ourselves
Negative self help a silk web at first
The morning pep talk as we perceive individuality
Believing the reflection we see
Why are we so careless with four letters?
What word were you thinking?
Words can oppress, harass, persecute
Hoping to feign dominance and influence
And victimizes upon return
A never ending cycle.
Like an addiction
Hard to give up without a reason to change
However, amidst an adverse environment
We may miss the shine of a string of pearls
But when found, amazing things are possible

It captivates the souls of many
although it helps a lot it's not always friendly
Some go poor from it's use
Despite the reasons there's no excuse
It victimizes people in wanting more
Until they're walking through a prison door
the love of it an tear a family apart
Leaving each other with a broken heart
It's not worth the sadness and pain
when in the end
the power of money
will be the one to blame
