A WORD
An open mouth issuing words
Is a better tool if
The thought processes are first engaged
With the intention of choosing words
That are calculated
For best effect
A funny thing is a word
It takes on a life of its own
Depending on
How
Who
Where
And when it is said
A simple device to explain
And tell a story
But a wicked unforgiving tool
If used unwisely
Diplomacy and tact
Are often outwitted
By the nuances of words
With multiple meanings
The fool rushes in
Prating
Judging
Condemning
Showing his ignorance
A dictionary should be held dear
Before words are scattered far and wide
Alighting on eyes and eyes
That misinterpret
The simple becomes complex
No word is powerful enough
To self-destruct after been uttered or read
None can be erased from the minds of those that
Witness its effects
A word can please
Can praise
Can lift the spirit
It can right wrongs real and imagined
Or become a noose around your neck
Words are dead till used
Life is breathed into them
Depending on the sentence in which they are strung
And those who are targeted
Say what you mean or wish
But words can have an unexpected kick

So very true, words never fall void and without that "kick" you mentioned. They fall to ground and accomplish what the speaker set the out to do. They can be weapons formed against you which will prosper and grow wickedly, devastatingly or with ton of love. Great write! val
I wrote partly about all these twitter and facebook and chatline people who say stuff and expect because they use a made up name that they wont be caught or pay the consequences for their actions
