'What can words do?' by Ebidenyefa Tarila Nikade

They are the bedrock of all communication

Feelings of love and hate; joy and sorrow

They effectively express

Actions speak louder than it they say

But even the action is called a verb

And a verb is a doing word

Letters birth words

Words on which our lives depend

What can words do?

They are the writer's tool

The singer's messenger

The leader's persuasion

The expression of woe and bliss

Even figures are written in words

Spoken words like broken eggs are irretrievable

Written words cuddle the mind

Forever imprinted though easily erased

Call it speech or language,

Words are their sole benefactor

What can words do?

Peace or war

Words decides and chronicles it

A poem or prose

Words string them differently and beautifully

Words make or mar

They sure kill and make alive

What you say is what you get

Life and death are resident in the tongue

The tongue-words natural habitat

The mind- their point of origin

Words, like love is a unifying force so strong

They make a marriage

Bind a union, build a home

An agreement or stay or leave

Blessings or cursing

Words are the conveyors

What can words do?

The world was made by words

The words of the maker

Spoken so assuredly

Each one never failing

You ask me again

What can words do?

Everything!
