Musings of an Aspiring Author and Poet
in
Do words affect change
Cause joy, pain, devastation
Linger in silence
Long after they’ve been uttered
Encouraging further thought
Is life made better
Uncertain futures improved
Or are they just words
Sounds vibrating through the air
Ink purposefully strewn
Blotting out the white
Filling meaningless canvas
Do words affect change
I certainly think they do
Or all of this is for naught

I agree- words do affect change :)
I suppose they do, but sometimes not for the better I’m afraid. :)
Nice poem Dom… I’ve been pondering the power of words lately… especially in terms of effecting change…
I wonder about this all the time. Does what we write really matter, I suppose that it does if it affects even one person in a positive way. I don’t think I could stop writing anyway even if I tried.
Definitely. Words forge the world we live in.
I like to think so or at least I hope so. I have to keep the faith.
i totally agree – words make a lasting impression and yes, they can affect change. sometimes for the better and sometimes, not so. i do believe our words will live on. i know mine will – through my boys:)
And mine through my children as well…at least I hope so.
you’re right of course!
Well thank you very much, its nice to be right once in a while. :)
They definitely do!
I certainly hope so, thank you my friend. :)
