I heard once that words were powerful
I didn't understand why.
All I knew was that mommy was good
Lying was bad
I guess I underestimated the power that one word had
The risk was taken
The word was said
from the moment it left my mind
on to my mouth then out in to the world,
it was already the beginning of storm.
Funny how you can yell fire,
it being a lie,
Then everyone laughing because it was a joke.
But when someone says the truth and it affects them
they come after you as if you were a runaway criminal.
What I am curious about is why?
Why the sudden threat
One word began this feud
and an apology won't make up for it
I guess again,
I overestimated the power of forgiveness
I thought everyone no matter what
deserved the benefit of the doubt
it was probably that I said a word
that was simply to dangerous for the case
It wasn't my intention to offend,
discriminate,
hate,
or even judge
That is not my job.
All I wanted was to prove the truth!
Not the one sold in movie theaters,
or in worldly books
But the one that is absolute
and the only truth that saves and justifies
As much as the truth was yelled
from the top of the lungs of so many,
no one cared and no one listened
No one reacted no one act
No one ever did anything about it
Until it was simply too late for anything
I tried to find a way to show my point of view,
I thought I could make it be worth the while
Change them, and help them
But they hated me for what I had said
I understood the power of words
I understood the power of one word!
It seemed almost impossible to me
Why were the so afraid to know him
One small storm
was the cause for starting
one huge storm!
the word being
"GOD"
I now know that the demons around were scattering just at the hearing of his name and the people around knew that but wouldn't admit it!
Figures!!! ;-)
