Words of Action
The pen's mightier than the sword?
Quite so! Quite so!
Swords cut through the heart,
but words strike the soul.
The world says "actions speak louder than words."
Though it's pretty quiet isn't it?!
Punch in the face? Big whoop.
Words hit like giants, right in the gut.
Oh they missed a spot?
Exchange some friendly words,
help stir that country melting pot.
Ain't nothing ever done by sitting silent.
Got it? Talk!
A picture's a thousand words,
not a single syllable wasted.
Don't look away to long, quick their almost erased,
but never gone.
Words are interchangeable,
stacked like LEGO building blocks.
So build 'em into something that tells the the world's wars to just
THINK AND STOP!
You can't fight fire with fire,
that only leads to larger flames.
It's not true what some may say,
the world isn't innately good.
We all should try to say and do
what our perfect God would.
WWJD?!
Words aren't the key to a door you've tried unlockin'.
Their real power spurs people to
start walkin' what they always talkin'.
I don't want to say a word just to make some empty noise.
What point is there to talkin',
if you're too busy not listenin'?
Don't waste your words mouthing
off to fools just looking for a fight.
Quit focusing on who's wrong and who's right!
ALRIGHT?
Remember, words can wound deeper still.
People always tryin' to bump up the hate.
New slights, new heights.
Man, just worry about your own life!
Prick your finger, pull your wrist rubber band.
Snap out of it! Wake up!
Get out of your wordy Wonderland.
Tomorrow's another day, another dollar to your name.
Choose your words willfully.
Don't make the same mistakes again.
