Power Of Words Poem by Pishone James

This is my art
My sliver tongue finding its way to paper
Taking its reader by the hand and past the horizon
To pastures new and taboo

This is my art
Coming from the heart
To evoke thoughtful discussion
Or provoke anger with repercussions
One verse I write with my pen
Reaches a million men

This is my art
For I understand the power of words
For it was the rain that helped flowers bloom
Not the thunder
For my sword may break
But my words cut deep

Words are powerful
Use them well
