Left in the Dirt
Have you heard,
Words Can Deaf!
Have you seen,
Words Can Blind!
Have You felt,
Words Can Kill!
Like a Noose
Words can slither around the necks of victims
Closing the airway and blocking life
Like a Flood
Words can wash over the mouths of victims
Clogging the mind and limiting sound
Like a Disease
Words can infest the bodies of victims
Rotting the flesh and destroying families
No one truly understands what words can bring
Like a game the tongues play on our sin
We continue to try our freedom
Only to realize that some words shouldn’t have been said
Oh, to see orange mixed with black
To feel the blood released from a body
To watch the flickering police lights, cascade on a sick game of CLUE!
What if words never hurt
What if words never killed
Would we still be here
Watching, Waiting, Wondering
In the last seconds before the scene closed
The villain locked away
The victim worshipped through tears
Would we finally realized the power of words
The mean texts online
The pushes and shoves by a celestial force
The gripping depression seized
Would that never occurred if words never killed
It’s too late now
The curtain closed
The battle lost
The Bedlam began
When the world ends
Will words still be present
Why is this the unforgiving truth
Now, as the body rests in its tomb
As we all stare at a movie repeated day after day
The blood seeps into the black slug
Another soul lost to the power of words
Another soul left in the dirt
To rot and gain mildew
To bloat and blue
the power words can bring can be helpful
The power words can kill
And we all will be just that
Left in the Dirt
DEAD!!!
