Paroles

Words work wonders
And sound empowers
Talk is cheap
But Word is deep

Sound patterns evolved for talking
They created something out of nothing
Oral or written, words connect
The content of the heart, they reflect

Like medicine, some heal
Like the same, they are bitter still
Misunderstood, they plague like cancer
Silence may not be the best answer

Ask the talebearers of old
How they play with words, mold and fold
Words are not ordinary, they have meanings rare
So every tale's detail is preserved with care
Wordsmiths juggle words; hot and fiery, icy and cold
Placing on their audience an enchanting hold
Words travel fast, despite no fare

Hope and strength is given
Through the course of words well driven
One wrong keyword and History is deformed
That same word, and a nation is reformed

A rude awakening that hits you in the head
Foreign ideas which company fed
Or sudden emotions that you dread
Stem from words, heard or read

These sound patterns; that grow into letters,
Letters becoming words,
Words forming sentences,
Sentences, each with its' meaning
Depending on the words it's keeping
Have no owners
But with the right speaker,
They work wonders.
