words

Words 

They hold power

Like a gun 

But it’s our voices that give them power

Words are an unloaded gun

And our voices are the bullets 

And our emotions are the hammer

Words only hold power when they’re spoken with emotion

The scariest part is everyone holds this power

To raise someone from hell 

Or to shoot them down to hell

When words are spoken without emotions they’re hollow

When you speak with emotion 

That’s the only time people listen

We cannot speak recklessly 

Because our emotions will seep through 

There’s no safety on this gun

So sooner or later 

We will accidentally shoot 

And hurt the people we love the most

And will lead to more emotion

Which will lead to more people being hurt

  • Fight

    Our fathers

    Mothers 

    Daughters

    Sons

    Have fought 

    When there is no time to sit

    When there’s no more patience 

    For our world 

    We stand 

    And fight

    And win

  • Taoism

    Taoism 

    Where one seeks enlightenment by shutting off their emotions 

    But how will that lead to enlightenment 

  • Hardships

    Hardships

    It’s a path to salvation 

    And to demise 

    If you rise or fall

    Is up to you 

    Will you always be stuck in this swamp
