Words Are Mightier Than The Sword Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

Nature has power.
Emotions are powerful.
Love has the greatest power.
Words have powerto change.
Love has the power to drive despair and, likewise, rekindle it
Love creates life, destroys life.
Love recaptures a living force that brings a fragile survival.
We are powerless to love…..
As is the moon when in the presence of the powerful sun,
yet unaware that its power can reduce all about itto smouldering nothingness.
We cower in obeisance to the natural majesty of nature's ravishing beauty..
Yet we reel, dementedly, when faced with the obscenity of the same powers destructive rampage,
Fire destroying all it encounters, with no mercy or regret…
It's blustering winds ripping hearts and homes apart.
We are powerless to nature….
Swamped by feelings of despair, joy, anger, fear
We fight the dark monsters of our psyche and try to make some order of them,
when faced with dark despots who are emotionless to our own emotions.
Clutching at air, breathing in a vacuum, lifeblood draining relentlessly.
We face ordeals more grievous that emotionsever want to soothe.
Joy come briefly but fleetingly.
We have no defence to emotions…
Love has the power to drive, despairing love, yet, likewise, rekindle it
Love creates life, destroys life.
Love recaptures a living force that brings a fragile survival.
We are powerless to love…
Words are just a whisper, spoken softly with love.
Words are a torrent, cutting flesh and spirit with barbarity.
Words make and break pacts, seals and destroys trust
Words are memory makers and destroyers.
Use them with care, with respect…
Use them to fulfil a destiny and build an Empire.
Make each one a monument to the sanity of man,
and a lasting balm to mankinds troubled soul
