They are all that we have to share,
to verbally articulate; bringers of joy,
or the cause of pain and despair.
They are ours to nurture, not destroy.
Brightly packaged lies, weapons of deceit;
carefully studied, so artfully discreet;
eye candy for the ears,
it might not be as it appears .
So sad that a thing
so beautiful can be plunged
into disrepute, and ridicule; plaything
for fools: it must be expunged!
Removed and ruthlessly discarded
from the library of Truth!
Words are the tools, not to be regarded
as weapons for the unscrupulous, the uncouth.
Use them wisely, not with disrespect;
care for them, nurture them, and enrich
our understanding of ourselves, our world; circumspect
should our approach, which
combined with Truth and Integrity
shall shine forth our vision for the future,
used wisely and proud; stupidity
is for the stupid. Beauty is ours to ensure.
