Words are everything.
Before language
there was no
history,
no abstract concepts,
no culture.
Without words,
to bring forth symbolic meaning,
to postulate the
possible,
to conceive of the conceivable,
there is nothing.
No time.
No trepidation.
No enchantment.
No
ideology.
No belief.
No orthodoxy
No inspiration
No purpose.
No rationale.
Words can obliterate.
Words
can annihilate.
Words can devastate.
Words can create
Words can generate
Words can formulate
Words can originate
Words
can initiate.
Words can manipulate.
Words can bare false witness.
Words can lead astray.
Words give birth
to meaning
out of vacuity.

Attached to ideas they spawn;
philosophies,
religions,
socio-economic
paradigms.
They create actions
and reactions
yielding consequences.
When believed,
they have power.
When
questioned.
they allow for freedom,
to seek wisdom
to reveal truth
When written or spoken
as poetry
as
poems,
the invisible world
stands unveiled, darkness pierced
by the power of the word.
Listen to them.
Think
about them.
Choose them wisely.
They are powerful.
They are catalyst,
for all that can be known.
