Words

So much meaning in so few words.

Words are words
A force all their own
Unique to all
To each his own
A different meaning
For every tongue
Interpreted differently
By everyone
We each have a choice
To make with our words
To build up and prosper
Or destroy and burn
Some use wisdom
When choosing their words
But others are foolish
And destroy unconcerned
All I will ask
Is one simple thing
Think before speaking
And I'll do the same

[Mason Rayburn]

It's the truth. :o It takes a lot of practice to become someone who thinks before they speak though.

"So much meaning in so few words"
Using your description to review your piece.
Great write indeed.

[Mason Rayburn]

This is definitely one of the most potent pieces I've written. I'm sure anyone would agree with its message because it's universal, crossing many boundaries of life, culture, language, and community.

[zainul]

I strongly support your view.
Thanks for the nice statement.

Simple enough request, Mason Rayburn, and I have learned some measure of holding back and examining my words before I allow the freedom of actually giving them life by speaking. Not to say I'm perfect, but at least I understand how words can hurt. Sometimes even refusing to speak can hurt. Enjoyed you effort here, my poetical friend.

[Mason Rayburn]

Indeed. I just don't speak. Solves everything but my romantic life. xD Cheers.
