Words

A Poem by John Prophet

Words,
packets of
thought.
Bullets 
of meaning.
From mind
to mind 
transversed.
Greatest invention.
Without, others
never
to be.
Words
as weapons,
power to
lie, destroy.
Words 
as medicine,
power to 
heal, comfort.
Words 
as art,
power to
engage, captivate.
Words,
power to
mislead,
manipulate,
control.
Vigilant,
always vigilant
with the
power of
words.

Indeed, words can hurt you, and this offering shows just how. Words can indeed heal, as it says, but they can also be misused and abused. Anyone who follows politics can attest to this. A lot of insight in this one.
