The Word

The world is made of words
future, past, and here and now.
Language is the glue that holds the mess together.

Love and Hate are made of words,
—you can’t have one without the other.
Thats not to say that hate is right,
the past has tried in many ways
to warn us that it isn’t.

But men will build their lives on it
and argue round and round,
“you’re too obtuse to see the truth…”‘
“That Hate is Love and Love is Hate…”

They would rather burn the world,
than admit that they were wrong
and guard their hate with guns and words
as if it was their Mum.
