Words

[Tundra]

What is a word?
Are words hate?
Are they love?
Are they joy?
Do they anger you?
Do they tease you,
Chase you,
and torture you?
Do they make you cry?
Do they make you die?
What are words?
Why do we use them?
Why?

They're just words.
They don't mean anything.
At least,
They shouldn't.

If someone says you're stupid
That doesn't mean it's true!
That's their opinion.
Stupid is just a word.
What makes it an insult?
What makes it so mean?
Why would you use it hatefully?

If you say you're smart
That doesn't prove anything.
You could be stupid.
But what does stupid mean?
What does smart mean?

Why did we choose the word food to mean the stuff we eat?
The stuff we need:
Food.
But that's such a strange sound. . .
Fooooooooood.
Food?
Food!
Food.
Why do we say it?
Why don't we bark and yap?
Why can't we meow or hiss?
Why do we make complicated polysyllabic sounds with our tongues?
Why can't we just sign?

Words don't mean anything!
They can't do anything!
They can't prove anything!
They are merely sounds used to express ourselves!
But we can express ourselves through our bodies!
They cause hate!
They cause anger. . .
Words poison our lives!
They darken our hearts!
Our spirits!
Our souls!
Without words . . .
Life would be a blessing
