Stupidity of words

We live in a world of humans

Where what I say has no meaning

Until you choose to let the words root

Inside your mind and into being

Words grow invasively like a tulip

Breaking through the soil

And they create a path of ruin

Everywhere the ground was destroyed

Because words are stupid

I could make a kerfuffle of sound

And be undisputed

Or could speak utter poppycock

And make everyone around me clueless

And all the nitwits in the world

Would finally be lucid

Since everyone‘ll say words are stupid

They are so convoluted

But are the most ingenious

Because of all the people included

In the magic of human speech

We live in a world of humans

Where a word can mean love

Or make the kindest people wounded

And that paradox of speech is why

Words are stupid
