I didn’t know,
that thought,
made actual,
created words,
spoken clearly,
formed ideas,
created everything;
made the world.
I didn’t know,
that perception,
made real,
solidified images,
described time,
designated locations,
ascribed properties;
of our reality.
I didn’t know that words were powerful.
I didn’t know that the thoughts behind them
were so crucial,
because I didn’t know
that when words are spoken aloud
and perceived by the ear,
they became thoughts again,
in someone else’s head.
This could effect
how they think about the world
and maybe effect their actions.
Those actions could change the world.
Our words can change
how the world is perceived
and for us,
that is nearly the same thing
as changing the world.
So speak,
because the world needs to hear you.
Write,
because your words are powerful.
Think,
because only you have your mind.
It is what you will use
to change the world.
