The Word

A sacred totem of humanity
The beauty of our nature
And exaltation of our pride
For we are exalted by word
And so therby our we degraded


When asked of the first word
"I" i said
And of the last?
"Hu" i replied
For one received form
And the other dissolved form


Full of compassion
And full of spite
Power to create
And power to destroy
Yet a malign we live by

mubodj: you bring to light the power of a few words strung together. and you balance it with highs/lows. it always amazes me what we are capable of. Nice to see your post, thanks! ;-)

Hi, mubodj,
Words, the precursors of change, for compassion or spite. They are tools of our invention; so, we decide the world we build, one word at a time. Thank you for sharing.
