Word Power

The words you speak
Are heavy with blame
Like lava pouring forth from a volcano
They fall out of your mouth
Burning all in their pathway

The words you speak
Cut through the air
And linger with their strong stench
Hovering over shoulders like fog
Making the view distorted

The words you speak
Are forever etched in memory
And marked in spirits
Like scars
That will never leave

The words you speak
Drown the listener
With their raw baggage
And weighted accusations
Fingers pointed every which direction

The words you speak

Will haunt you.
