The weight of a word

-By Sanjana Sridhar Guru


Is dazzling to behold.

They build and they break,

They furl and they fold.

A simple word empowers a man,

Or throws his hopes, his dreams, in a can.

Such simple devices,

Such minuscule tools,

Used veraciously,

Can elevate fools.

Just letters on a page?

it does not seem so.

Do not simply think

Your words nowhere go.

Everything said,

By someone’s received,

For better or for worse,

In thought and indeed.

Regardless of all

The things you have heard,

Do not disregard

The weight of a word.a
