A social commentary They are powerful and great, Sometimes nice but wait, There are times they scorn you, There are times their false when its truth is true There are times they carry a lot A times they are cold or hot, Sometimes meaningful int its way While other times it seems darker than some days. They can be wonderful at times yes, Horrified in some days filled with stress, And there are times you want to shut it down Or when needed or for it not to make a sound, Silent is sometimes gold, Sometimes it gets really, really old, While there are times to speak very loudly Then at times it will love or hate or me, There are times we’ll just do what the Beatles suggest and let it be. You love me then you hate me A game for fools you see But painful not soothing or cool But rough at times like a fool Just dumb at times in different times At times cruel to be kind, While praising you one hand Then downing me to kiss your *** The stab me in the back and then get away fast. It cuts **** a knife deep It even haunts me in my sleep, While killing me softly at times so sadly Then cussing at me badly, Your words hurt me so Deeper than you’ll even know. Sometimes loud and wrong And sometimes you’ll sell those words for just a song Or sometimes ***** Sometimes nerdy, Sometimes slick With a little coolness quick as a wick. Words can be light as a feather Capable to stand any kind of weather. It can be strong and tall, Sometimes fast or not all. No matter it’s homeland or country No matter the color it maybe Or expressions kind or mean No matter hidden or even seen Or what wars that battled Know this much that world do matter, 8 Sept 2021
