Words

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Oct 21, 2019 

Words,
packets of
thought.
Bullets 
of meaning.
From mind
to mind 
transversed.
Greatest invention.
Without, others
never
to be.
Words
as weapons,
power to
lie, destroy.
Words 
as medicine,
power to 
heal, comfort.
Words 
as art,
power to
engage, captivate.
Words,
power to
mislead,
manipulate,
control.
Vigilant,
always vigilant
with the
power of
words.
