Really think about the words you choose to say. The person listening may not see it the same way. Misunderstanding happens often because of words chosen in a different phrase. Think when you speak.

  

The power of words, impact you

Feel joy or guilt, laughter in a story

Beliefs taught through the ages

 

Words have domination

They are the application of intelligence

Teach, judge, apply to well being

 

Verses, memorized, lesson taught

All would be lost, if not for vocabularies

Songs lyrics tell of love lost

 

Poems of inspiration, stories that dispute battles of freedom

Speeches of promises to come

Just confrontations that promote potential

  

Tales of untruths, feelings hurt

Terms of expressions that can’t be taken back

Anger metaphors that invent coinage

 

A moment to live through without regret

Should have been discussed without drama

Exaggerations in a flash of annoyance

 

Simple words we use everyday

Never realizing the impact they have

Choose your vocabulary carefully

 

Make a difference in your language

We all listen, but don’t understand

Someday we will be on the same page

    Words are power, and it is a wonderful dream to want many voices united. That kind of word power would change the world.
