THE WAR OF WORDS
By: Barbara Goodjoin
WORDS ARE IMPORTANT.
Whether spoken, tweeted or signed…
words convey ideas, hopes, and expectations.
Words paint pictures,
build people up
and tear people down.
Words UNITE and DIVIDE!
Words ignite love and hate;
build dreams and destroy futures.
Words
start wars and can also end wars.
Words offer compassion
to sooth feelings
and running tears.
Words, lead to aggression
when expelled with hate.
Words build leaders
and expose fools….
Words build leaders…
and expose fools!
Words Build Leaders…
and
Expose Fools….
Pay attention
to the words you hear and speak today.
What is the message that the words convey?
