WORDS

WORDS

A Poem by Edmerlyn Geralde

It is something...that comes out of your mouth
Whether you type it, whisper or shout
It can be real powerful or destructive
It might be something that destroy or..constructive

In the midst of a war, it can make you strong or weak
So be careful in choosing it, as you speak
Words that are said cannot be taken back
But often it's abused as one person mock

But sometimes words are powerless when you are weak
Strong person use it as weapon to the meek
Saints used it to inspire other people
Sinners took advantage of it..so as to belittle

If you want to change your life or the world
Be careful on words you say as you grow old
Create happy memories and positive you
Speak less evil and always be true

True words make the poem true. Great write. Everybody needs to think before they speak and speak less, indeed. Tyfs.

Interesting message given here! We really need to exercise caution over what we speak and most importantly to whom we speak 'cause if used wrong can create a negative impact.. I really liked this piece! Thought-provoking!

thank you =)
i think we all need to speak less and listen more....and if we must speak...we should take our time and think first before freeing the words...because otherwise we will be imprisoned with regret.
