Words


There are 26 letters in the English language.

There are thousands of words

There are millions of sentences

and you control this entity with your one mouth

To build empires

To tear down nations

To motivate countries

Or to tear it into shambles

Make beauty

Create pain

Slit your tongue and watch the world go to ruin

Watch a man communicate with howls and whines

And jump off the  society you have bound to him

Because theses decipers can build you up

But they can tear you down

And those hundreds, thousands, millions, of spits will either move mountains or remain stagnant in meaningless diversions

Because either way they catalyze action

Slit your tongue, create pain

Speak with power,

Demand beauty
