The game of words

Words are the game we play,

In this world of thought and clay,

We weave them into tales and rhymes,

And create the rhythm of our times.

With words we can build or break,

A bridge to cross or a wall to make,

We can speak of love or hate,

And decide the fate of our state.

The power of words is grand,

They can shape the way we understand,

The world and all that is in it,

And make us laugh or cry within it.

But words can also deceive,

And make us believe what we perceive,

Is not the truth, but just a lie,

That we accept without asking why.

So let us use our words with care,

And make sure that they are fair,

For in this game of words we play,

The rules are ours to make each day.
