Freedom


Words are keys

Tiny and powerful

They unlock doors

The doors of oppression and hate

Words free us

 

Slaves to injustice

Words release us

They break down walls

Unlock doors

Rip through chains

 

Words connect us

People in different worlds

Become one

Forming bonds

Because of words

 

Anonymity

Faces, names

Become irrelavent 

All that matters

Are the words
