The Power of Words


Words. Some are better left unsaid, to have never come out at all. Words. Some are better left unheard. Why defile the innocent and pure with a single word? Why can we not use our brains to think of what we say, rather than blurt out an ugly string of words? Is it not better that we use, rather than abuse, our intellectual language with more than hideous four-letter words? Words. They could be the worth of so much more, more artistic than before; if only we could use the better, beautiful words. Or will we forever be tainted by our Words?
