Words are powerful!

I  read a quote today and it said that words can either pollute or purify. It went on to say that once spoken they can never be taken back! This is one of the greatest truths out there. Being a poet, I know that my words must be chosen carefully. I never know how it might affect any of my listeners. Not that I am censoring myself but that my words are used to build up rather than tear down.

All kinds of words
some heard some verbal
some smooth like herbal green tea
and for me
words saved my life...

...its refreshing to see action words meet up with adverbs
and nouns click with adjectives
while verbs live harmoniously with subject and predicate....

...words can speak life or death
give breath or kill slowly like meth
whatever your words are
do not let it mar your purpose
target below the surface
to reach those that are lying and dying
in bad words....
