Why? {a poem}

Why? a poem by Lèrowen

They speak, they say words ease the mind
They don't know
They talk, they say words help you forget
They don't listen
They chat, they say words relieve the pain
They don't understand
They gossip, they say words lend a hand
They don't think
They go on, they say words assist
They don't know
Why all this talking? Why all these mindless words?

Well written thoughts to ponder. Words are so much more powerful than we realize. We all need to be careful.

Thank you.
