Words; the good ones, the bad ones and the forbidden ones, we use them without giving them a second thought. What are words? They are powerful, we know, but when do we start understanding them? It is only when we start listening that we understand the power of words. The act of listening comes to the mature and the aged. The young and restless don’t have time for it.
My random musings about words and how we use them today. We no longer talk, we text. We no longer feel, we emote. We draw bridges and then we don’t have the words to erase them. We are stuck with words while our hearts want to feel.
I am the word for you to love, use me with enmity and I can make you hate.
I am the word for you to say a prayer, use me harshly and I can make you fray
I am the word to break down bridges, use me with apathy and I can draw the bridge
I am the word to make you happy, use me loudly and I can make you grumpy
I am the word of the wise and bright, I can be mighty
I am the word of the intellect, I can be witty
I am the word of the ignorant, I can be flighty
I am the word and I no longer speak; I text, I emote
I am the word and I am aging
I am listening to the changing syllables and phonemes
I am the word and my days are limited
I am the word and my young ones are fast and furious
I am the new word and I can be spurious
Young or old, I am the word; use me wisely.
Say me, don’t text me
Feel me, don’t emote me
I am your word, let me be in your control
Love with me
Friend with me
Pray with me.
Well said ! Words are something , once they are out of your mouth or hand, never come back , so need to be used wisely .
In my view talking is always amicable to texting but lives have gone busier and more formal looks like. Wish we could express all our feelings in words at all
