The Power Of Words Poem by louis rams

The power of words

Words! The most powerful tool known to man.
It can cure a heart or destroy a land.
It can give you an explanation to the meaning of life and even help you through your struggles and strife.
Soothing words may calm an angry beast. This is something that in schools they teach.
Many answers to questions are in the books, but who has time to look.
Every thing that man thinks he knows is put into black and white.
But is he wrong or is he right?
Every thought and every quote seems so far and so remote.
Words are like a double edge blade - it can kill or it can save.
Wars can stop and peace can rule, if you know how to use this tool
You cannot tell another person how to live because you don't know what they can give.
Their questions may be the answers that you seek, so give them a chance and let them speak.
There is not one of us who is ' all knowing '
For every question there is an answer and for every answer there is a question.
GOD rules our lives but words and numbers rule the world.
Look at every page in a book - it is words and numbers.
These are my words and thoughts today - so I will let it end this way.
