Words Are Like Weapons

Try to strike up conversation
While being masked behind a screen
When words are without any meaning
The thought becomes the enemy

Without forgive and forget
There is a serious threat
To all who want to make amends
And have no regrets

Still we're blind to see, there's no empathy
Gratitude could be a solution

If the truth spoke louder then lies
It would be even harder to ignore
It's a matter of opinion
Over ways that we are living
Magnified like never before

Wait, what's that?
Was that something that
We were supposed to hear?
Over and over again
No filter, emotion killer
Never stop to think of how
Another would feel

At the end of the day
There's a price to pay
For all of the things
That we impulsively say

There's no shame to be fake
Or to instigate
The entertainment of no good intentions

There is freedom that comes
From your own intuition
When you finally find a reason to want
To start to learn to listen

"Words have power, words are power
You can change a life, inspire a nation
And make up this world a beautiful place"

Words are like weapons
Words are like weapons

"Isn't that what we all wanted?
Isn't that what we are all in this for?
Your mouth can spit venom
Or it can mend a broken soul"

When deceit is confusing our mind
With misinformation
Then we all should make it a point
To start to pay attention

If the power of our words
Create communication
Then why do we use them to be
Our ammunition
Go ahead and fire away
Go ahead and fire away

Words are like weapons
Words are like weapons
