It seems so absurd that patriot's a dirty word,
In a country with heroes on parade.
It seems so absurd that loves become a dirty word,
Because it's used when emotion begins to fade.
...
The journey is much longer when you don’t know where you’re going
Many travel down the path that is wide.
You don’t really know your destination in the distance; you just follow your feet,
And the path is obscured by the incoming tide.

I am 20 years old and in a band and I am looking to help develop my song writing abilities and thought this may be a good way to go about it. always had a respect for poetry but never really took the time to understand it until I read the poem 'if'. Now I wish to start trying to write some of my own stuff.)
Silence Is Sometimes Better
It seems so absurd that patriot's a dirty word,
In a country with heroes on parade.
It seems so absurd that loves become a dirty word,
Because it's used when emotion begins to fade.
When words lose feeling
They also lose meaning,
When words are overused
They become a privilege abused.
Feel the words you say
Mean the words you say
Say only when you mean,
And make the words you say,
Count today.
