Be the change you wish to see in the world.

In an average day,
A human will say thousands of words.
Some talk,
And talk,
And talk,
Just to hear themselves.
Words, words, words.
Some are insulting, some are intimate,
Some even taboo.
All are cheapened by misuse,
Overuse,
To where they have no use.
Words, words, words.
They say actions speak louder.
Actions are stronger
Because we have made words weak,
Just toys to play with.
Words, words, words.
Billions of people
Having billions of conversations,
Yet nobody really says anything.
