they do not make icarus, but daedalus
Phrases and words,
are combos of letters and vernacular.
Build on each other & they
build us up on each other.
you can judge a woman by her words when action can’t suffice
words lead to liberation, lead to empowerment, lead to sacrifice
words lead to education and education leads to wings
leads to the lighting of a fire not the filling of a pail
words do not create icarus;
they make daedalus
words show language, communication is meaningless
how can you learn if you never understand?
words hold power, words make a new woman
words show language, what is meaningful
without words, we are all damned
actions are nice & intentions sweet
but words are keys
sticks & stones may break my bones
but words show who i am and who i’ll be
