Whirlwinds of emotion - A collection of poetry

Words (SPOKEN WORD)

As we all have the ability to make a sound

Voices that channel our thoughts aloud

Figure of speech that is able to draw a crowd

As the words mean something that is quite profound

*

 Names have been etched onto our history

For example Martin Luther King and his advisory

These sounds and words that were once a mystery -   

Were what helped fellow humans out of slavery

* 

But sometimes we abuse this powerful privilege

Words of pure hatred that causes great damage

A senseless thought? An opinionated act of courage?

Or a vile nonsensical attack on self-image?

* 

That’s right, I’m talking about verbal abuse

Connotations and words that are blatantly misused

We can never escape it due to a growing issue…

Technology, where face-less trolls vent about their views   

* 

Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop behind the screen

Real-life verbal fights are not also squeaky clean

Words that were once mighty and reigned supreme

Just no longer means the same to me….
