Two letters,
Scrawled haphazard,
On brick walls,
Speak volumes,
Build barriers,
Save millions,
Never uttered enough,
Sometimes uttered too much,
Etching a duality,
Between inaction,
And stopping oppression,
Strong like steel,
Ethereal as ghosts,
And only you,
Decide its proper use.
Scrawled haphazard,
On brick walls,
Speak volumes,
Build barriers,
Save millions,
Never uttered enough,
Sometimes uttered too much,
Etching a duality,
Between inaction,
And stopping oppression,
Strong like steel,
Ethereal as ghosts,
And only you,
Decide its proper use.
This poem was written as a monologue to the intensity of one of the most frequently used words, so small and insignificant while still being one of the most powerful words in all human languages.
