Word

I, am invisible to eye
Eye, sees what I say
Living in a warmer place
That is ever watery as a stream
Pink and tender than an egg
Yet strong enough to tear and break beings apart.

I am the ruler
Who each day choses pinker pastures
That sterilize with Listerine
Brag about achievements
Demotivating the unfortunate
Magnifying situations to manipulate and Manifest
Nothing much other than Dominating the inferior.

I do become a reason
The fortune care for treasures
Each day regarded as pleasures.

Am misused to mistreat
Lure lie justify simplify
To gain power and respect.

I am a word
I can build a world
I can be a sword
I can be a blessing
Use me at your own discretion.
