Words, They Play With You When You Play With Them... Poem by Alok Singhal

Be careful when you play with words
For they have a soul of their own
They play with you when you play with them
Words you say may stir a soul, or they may cause someone grief
Words you say may enlighten a mind
They may show how kind you are even if you are so unkind
Words may win someone’s heart
Words may break someone apart
Words you say you may not mean
The other won’t understand but words would have seen
Words may bring you a fortune untold
Words can cause a misery to unfold
Words you may not say, can travel on their own
You can’t take back once they are gone
Words can win you many a debate
Words can as well seal your fate
Choose your words before it’s too late
Mean your words before you let them out
Remove any apprehension or your doubt
Erase those words you can live without
Bring those words which will make you proud
For when you play with words…
The words play with you…
