The Power of Words


Reading Words, to understand a meaning;

understanding a meaning, to find the right words.

Some voices that should be heard, yet most voices aren't.

As I've been living, I've also been seeing; 

things that don't seem right, tainting our beautiful world.

I have the urge to change it, but I don't know where to start.

The perception I have may not be the same as yours,

Mr. Big-money-banker, ignoring your litte Hanky-Jr., 

just to get the tangible temporary, while you're losing yours.

Family respect and courtesy

What do they mean to me? 

They carry me

Through the

journey

to be

a better me

I valu-e

The idea of being the real me

Instead of changing to confrom and acquire the greed for something that can't buy me

Another life.
