Words are useless

Because no one can convince me that

Words have the power to make this world a better place

People know that

“A pen is stronger than a sword”

Is a lie

Words have no power

Words have no meaning in this society

Nothing can convince me that

My words will be listened to

My thoughts and

My voice

Will be lost

The thought that I am insignificant

Doesn’t even surprise me

“You can change the world”

Is a lie

“No one will listen, no matter how you scream”

Is a proven fact

Everything is hopeless

I refuse to believe that

The society today is open-minded

Once, people used to have an open ear

Not anymore

Young people are ignored and looked down upon

I’m not willing to spend any time with words

If

I can’t expect to be heard

What’s the point of saying otherwise?

“Words make an impact”

Has always been a lie

Words are just stupid

And you will never make a difference, unless you reverse it.

*Below is the same poem, in reverse order.

“Words are just stupid”

Has always been a lie

Words make an impact

What’s the point of saying otherwise?

I can’t expect to be heard

If

I’m not willing to spend any time with words

“Young people are ignored and looked down upon”

Not anymore

Once, people used to have an open ear

The society today is open-minded

I refuse to believe that

“Everything is hopeless”

Is a proven fact

“No one will listen, no matter how you scream”

Is a lie

“You can change the world”

Doesn’t even surprise me

The thought that I am insignificant

Will be lost

My voice

My thoughts and

My words will be listened to

Nothing can convince me that

Words have no meaning in this society

“Words have no power”

Is a lie

A pen is stronger than a sword

People know that

Words have the power to make this world a better place

Because no one can convince me that

Words are useless
