Words Are Powerful. Poem by Koena Mokoena

Words are powerful

Words can tell, guide & discipline.
Words can encourage, motivate & inspire.
Words are powerful...
Words can attach, build & control.
Words can protect, comfort, appreciate & love.
Words can heal.

Words are powerful...
We use words to love
We use words to discriminate
We use words to insult
We use words to humiliate
We use words to appreciate
We use words to hate
We use words to comfort
We use words to fight
We use words to destroy.

Words are powerful...
Words can make you disappointed, sad & cry.
Words can make you judge, forgive & forget.
Words can make you care, happy & smile.
Words can make you aware, suspicious & interrogate.

Words are powerful...
Words can make you mad, crazy & shout.
Words can make you speak, apologize & understand.
Words can make you uncertain, ignorant & lie.
Words can make you complain, suggest & discipline.
Words can make you angry, fear & shy.

Words are powerful...yes...Words are powerful.
