we use words
to communicate
words of love
just as easily spread hate
words lift us up
when we're feeling down
then bring us down
when we get too proud

words are used
to make a point
hoping we do
when most times we don't
words that have meaning
show our true feelings
that are in keeping
with our daily dealings

we use words
when ordering
food about town
and people around
words we use
when we need to say
come on along
or please go away

words are used
in many forms
inside the box
outside the norm
words
we cannot ignore
what all they do
and what they're used for
