Words -[Original Wake up semi-political poem - quit treating words as reality]

in #poetry8 years ago


Words you terrify me
Utterance gives me fright
Words you guide me
Reason fled from sight

Words define me
The labels binding fast
Words confine me
Sheltered from the past

Words they blind me
More frightful than actions
Words enshrine me
One of several factions

Words they lead me
Though uttered not by me
Words deny me
The simple thought of free

Words insure me
My imagination is real
Words delude me
Ignoring any appeal

Words they envelop me
My mind now but a drone
Words they drug me
Obey the Queen on the throne

Words they veil me
The news says it is true
Words they flatter me
I riot as part of a crew

Words inhibit me
I fear them with every thought
Words vilify me
Attempts to waken are naught

Words they lie to me
For nothing yet has been done
Words they drive me
As though the devil has won

Words say hi to me
Yet I forgot they are simply words
Words help me
Yet I flush them as though turds

Words uplift me
Yet I do not use them for such
Words enable me
Yet I attack them like a crutch

Words terrify me
My fear is more important than truth
Words define me
Watch my actions for proof
