The Effect Of Words

Her words stung like a wasp Their effect had me in a sad grasp I never knew words hurt so much Those words postulated a form of retouch You see; Words make you Words break you Words can set you free Words can let you be You see; Words tend to hurt When dished out carelessly without effort The right choice of words can give hope The wrong choice of words can take away hope And make someone tie themselves with a rope Words can make you love Words can make you hate Words can encourage Or set you on a stormy rage Words need to be sensitive Words can be expensive When constructively comprehensive If you dismiss words saying they don't hurt You are wrong my dear, so wrong Then why do we have courts? Saturated with overpriced lawyers Confusing us with grammer Abusing us with grammer Reducing any chances of freedom if you stammer As you stand before that vicious unpredictable hammer Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi
