There's something so simple
Yet so utterly complex
In the use of words
They flow out like rivers
Rough and in bursts at first
Then they calm down,
Smooth into fluid speech
With much less fear of being misunderstood
Yet, maybe so
Now more than ever
Fear that our words are misinterpreted
That our rivers have been secretly redirected
Pooling elsewhere in small amounts

Just thinking about words, and how they can be interpreted in so many different ways with context. Rather interesting, once you get to thinking about it.
