Spoken Word
The spoken word,
something that my mother
said could never hurt me, Dang,
was she wrong.
The spoken word
is so much more than that.
Deadlier than an ak-47 and can
pack a punch harder than
Muhammad Ali, is the cruelty of a
spoken word.
A word can lead to a thought
and a thought that can lead to an
idea and that idea can lead to an
action and that action can lead to a casket. Columbine.
See a word is the one thing
that connects me to you and you to the holy one who says by the mouth is the way to redemption
and self righteousness.
And don't we all want to be holy,
or at least that is what most
people say. Key word say,
speaking things into existence will
be the likely thing that dooms our
existence. 2012.
Spoken words can brings
blessings if said to the right
people. The blind side tells the
truth of the intent of people who
you follow. My mother also told
me you sow what you reap, the
grim reaper can't even imagine
the sheer magnitude of the hell of
a teenage male. Well at least a
black male, whose words brought
more change than white
supremacy has done throughout
our educational history.
The spoken word can bring harm.
Terrorists flee from it's power and
white folks sit in awe. The spoken
word can take a man and reduce
him to a boy or make him a slave
to their own inner demons. The
inner demons who have the power
to lower ones self confidence and
tempt men to fall on their own
knives. They can cause a
marriage to fall off their high
pedestal, and become another
statistic. Spoken words are worse
than sticks and stone cause
wounds can be healed but words
remain eternal.
