Words are the heartbeat
Of the soul
The breath of
One's breathing
Soft whispers can heal
Angry words can destroy
One can build up
Or rip apart
Queens and kings can
Surely be born
Or paupers slowly
Left to die
We can build one
A kingdom of dignity
Or a dungeon
Of self disgust
Its up to how
We will use
The language of words
