Words
tears trickle down
the
bruised cheeks of time
eroding splinters
smothering words
churned out without reason of rhyme
just words
words
now impotent
simple sentences
blurred by tears
though never
ever
blurred by fears!
oh yes!
words defy fear
words repel hate
words are alive
may they thrive
as we strive
for a more just world
with less tears
less fears
