Poems of Infinity

Words

When we're talking
I feel my spirits lift high.
When we're talking
I don't want to say goodbye.

I enjoy the closeness
Speech brings us.
But I despise my awkwardness
Of some points which we discuss.

Speech brings us together,
Forms friendships.
Talking benefits us altogether
And is the basis for all relationships.

But what happens when
The wrong word is used?
Should you hide in a den
Feeling lonely and bruised?

Or should you fight back?
Use the words against them
In your own brutal attack?
Why should we condemn

One silly mistake?
It may offend
And make friendships break.
But we can use words to make amend.

Communication is key
To collaboration around the world.
So why can't you see
Words can save the world.
