expressive and artful poetry part I [Book 1]

words

the power of words

a force with such cutting edge

A double-edged sword

the two ends of a stick

a mighty power resting in our hands

So powerful yet impacting

a force to be reckoned with

a sword and weapon on the tip of our tongue

who knows what it is to become of our words?

words that can be twisted or corrupted

With such importance dependent on a single thing

What to happen next lies on the hands of those receiving

Words break the ice

An insurmountable weight leading to either of two roads

Either one is impossible to predict for the human mind

That of nut hard to crack open

What is unknown to us

What is to come into effect of our words?

Are words to be taken by just a grain of salt or out of context?

A passage to see through people

Words have power

To work for the good or the bad

One of the very few things in your power to keep in check

One of the very few things in your possession

The tone of your words people never forget

A tool with the power to soothe and uplift

Thorns with the  power to scar through you and others

Piercing through you as a lethal bullet

Once inside you, hard to heal

A memory impossible to forget

A pain forever within you 

staying with you till the end of time

The equal to actions done

Goes in one ear and out the other

What's yet unforgettable is what we feel from words spoken to us

A universal way to connect and convey to our kind

Words are to bring people together

Yet we're turning against each other as if we're strangers

on the downside, words can break trust and respect between people

ruining the harmony and peace within a community

words speak to our souls

it touches our hearts

it's the music to our ears

that connects us to our emotions

yet it does the opposite as well

it wounds our hearts 

it's the pain to our heart

the scars invisible to the naked eye

words can turn against your favour

all you knew as the truth could be a lie you lived all your life

words can turn people away from you

leaving you alone in a shadow of loneliness consuming you inside

what is the truth when we live in a world full of lies?

are words as trustworthy as their claim?

are we best off trusting no-one but ourselves?

is there any hope in living anymore?

word is a silent killer

with us as its victims to satisfy its selfish desires

to its heart content while we suffer

killing us slowly day by day
