Words are Weapons
Words are weapons
In toxic times
They explode in minds
In poisonous rhymes.
The tongue becomes
A machine gun
To riddle brains
With quip and pun.
Ideas fan the flames
Of imagination
And release thoughts
That fuel that conflagration.
Out of battle
Of those who step in range
Are wondrous gifts
Of empowered change.

There is a battle going on between those who want a more caring world and those who do not care as long as they are free to do as they want.
There are those that see the destruction, unfairness and exploitation and those that believe that it is not happening.
There are the purveyors of fake news and the victims of it.
There are those who do not believe in experts and those who do.
There is a battle between the deniers and the accepters, between the fearful and the haters, the ones who have and the ones who haven’t.
I think it’s a battle best fought with words.
