Words

Words, Words, Words

These horrible, ugly words

They cut, bruise and chill

They cause hate and repel
 

Words, Words, Words

These gorgeous, uplifting words

They create, repair and heal

They help to love and feel
 

Words, Words, Words

They give and they steal

Fictionalizing  truths

Making  realities surreal
 

Words, Words, Words

These crazy, stupid words

Though honest and real

Truths they  seldom reveal
 

Words, Words, Words

These  enigmatic, dolled up words

Appearing suave and genteel

Mere instruments to cut deals
 

Words, words, Words

These mighty, powerful words

Ruthless, made of steel

To your power we kneel
