Words Can Grow
Words Can Grow
Pain or Beauty
Life and Death
Light or Darkness from below
Words can cut
Words Can Repair
Words cannot fill history
When One’s Presence was never there.
We only have so many years to exist
To achieve
To Grow and Reproduce
Words cannot Replace the actions
where you forced that one to ignore their futures
Only to fit into your schedules
as they depend upon you as a life line
Lines drawn as destructive forces intertwine
Two or more lives that need to bleed as one
to remain bonded as such in love and family
where is the Humanity?
When one family member is a picture of “missing”
on the side of a milk carton?
Did you go out to find the lost one?
Or were you too busy with the prizes that you are seeking to have won?
Words can replace actions
They can justify
They can Describe the instances beyond
how we carry on past the years and moments spent in vein
Can we grow again from where we have been?
Or will words fill the wounds
in life
where we damaged better futures
only to die, slowly, from the neglectful acts
to ourselves….
As we let our needs fall behind
Relics on shelves….
Words do define….
The moments where we won
what was rightful and divine.
