Words
The words we speak
The words we hear
The words that linger between reason and doubt
The words of the old world that have perished
The words in my mind
Always present, never abandon me
Words meant to be forever, no matter what language they are written in
Words, take me in your grasp and reveal your power to me
Your honesty does not need to hide from this unjust world
But no matter how you are spoken, your journey will end where it is most needed
To use, we are not all free to do so
My words are just as beautiful as yours
If we don’t have this freedom we have no freedom at all
