Words lyrics

Why are such unkind words

So very easy to come by, alas

That men could evolve to speak

The vocal wonder and shared act

Only to find fault with one another

Little men who wish to be big

That live in the shadows of others

Always bitter, always lurking

That they might exploit mortality

The liabilities of living life

Its trials, victories and tragedies

Is that not enough then to itself

Twisting daggers of honourable men

That they might extinguish ambition

This dubious crown of glory betrayed

Why are words of kindness

Acts of compassion so difficult

Is that they espy subservience

What is humanity to an ego

A being that hides within, without

To hide behind them is but a ruse

The wise can see through simply

They measure stature in abstraction

Character of the spirit, good or bad

A distraction all then for naught

Be then a patient servant to man

That fulfillment not lie alone in self

The joy of words sharing and caring

Marks no scars upon the soul

From an utterance or them destined so
