Hi there,
Words can make one happy,
Words can bend one’s mind;
Words can make one grumpy,
words can make one kind.
Words can illuminate a man,
Words can make one weep;
Words can hurt so much,
That a man cannot even sleep.
Words can hide the truth,
Words can strike the heart;
Words can provoke the youth,
To make a revolution start.
Words can give one freedom,
Words can push one to heights;
Only words have such powers,
To separate wrongs from rights.
Words are more than missiles,
That can make one just die;
but words, if hit, cause much damage,
That makes one forget to try.
Words before being spoken,
Are under our total control;
But after we speak the words,
We fall under their control!
