Listen

Description

Speak

Speak, 

and hold 

your silence 

to listen 

in return; 

Speak, 

and hear 

your words,

in someone 

else’s heart, 

Speak, 

and understand 

the source 

of your own, 

Speak,

what is in 

your mind,

Listen, closely, 

to the words, 

different 

to your own, 

Listen, to where 

the words 

of other’s 

have come from, 

Listen, 

to understand, 

even if 

you disagree, 

Write words 

that you 

can lean on, 

Write words, 

that cast 

no shadows 

on what 

can still 

be written,

Write your truth, 

knowing 

it is yours,

For Words 

can topple 

governments, 

Words can kill 

the lives 

of millions, 

a single Word 

can change 

a life from dying, 

Words,

are the footsteps 

of consciousness, 

to choose, 

to decide, 

to think, 

to act 

and create, 

Words belong 

to us all

Speak!
