These words we
say...
Statements we
make,
Leave paper
trials,
And distinct
scents.
Imprinted in
the filters of our heads,
Better lying
unsaid.
Words better
kept,
Rather unsaid.
Actions kept
to script,
Rather than
acted out on stage.
Comments
better never pasted,
Message
un-typed, letters unread.
Voices never
pledged,
And words
better unsaid.
Only filled
with regret,
Left to learn
only from this mistake.
Left to learn
from what I said,
Words, like virginity, once said can not be undone. In the 21st Century, an era where everybody has the potential to be heard through such mediums as Web 2.0 applications, the price of the liberty of the tongue comes with a tag of consequencies.
ReplyDeleteThis piece sought to act as a reminder, a statement of the obvious... What we say does not vanish, but one stands for future reference.
Watch your words, you might become a servant to them, read and enjoy... please share as well

Thank you for visiting this piece. Words carry a lot of weight and once they are said sometimes can not be reversed!!!

ReplyDeletewords slowly become actions and the more we juss talk without really thinking the more we turn out bad...words either build or break us
ReplyDeletethe things we say define us in more ways than one
