Do You Know What They Mean Poem by Katie Huntress

alive, dead do you know what they mean?
love, hate is there really such a thing,
those things are just words,
with jumbled up phrases,
do you know what they really mean?

in school they teach us we have to know this and that,
what would happen if we changed the meaning of one word,
would love still be love and would death still be death?
would you realize how to stay alive?
would hate still be a strong word as it is?

those things are just words,
words people made up over the years,
do people actually know what they mean?

alive, dead do you know what they mean?
love, hate is there really such a thing,
those things are just words,
with jumbled up phrases,
do you know what they really mean?
