Written Word...
A word is spoken...it vanishes into nothingness...as if never there...
the word that is spoken is the one that has the least substance...
was it really said? To trust it seems more like a dare...
it has no spine...no living proof...why take the fatal chance?
As one's penmanship gives birth to the words...in infancy mere thoughts...
inside the caves of the mind they are birthed, their life truly begins...
spoken long ago, but not etched in stone, seemed as though deemed lost...
but as they are written, they are believed and create he thick skin...
The written word, sets you free...
the written word, makes you beleive...
the written word can be stood upon...
the written word will live on...
In closing, listen to the words that you hear, read and speak, do they edify?
do I wish to write them down and validate? even if they do make me cry?
give life to your words, take the time to read and write the spoken word...
the word that has the everlasting effect...and is your sword...
Johnny L. White Sr.
