Speechless; Words Are All We Have

imagine, your life is connected to a tree
where anything you speak
or any of your deeds
signify the dropping of its leaves..
and the last drop, takes you to forever sleep..
what words would flow through your lips?
what would be your personality...?

"Hey!, you watch your tongue"
"they might be what you live"
.."shhh...they are mine not yours"
"let me be free"
"Hey!, be careful of your actions"
"they might make you bleed"
"excuse me!, they are my decisions"
"i chose to make the world see"

who is a man?
one with colossal muscles
or barrel-chest?
perhaps one who is herculean
or gorgeously lanky
probably one with the highest sword
or the cowards lungs,
ready for a thick run
at the storms of life.

I have seen several of his kind,
they claim to be the warriors of the land
but rather like to tamper with the flesh of a woman.
they only speak words of lies,
corrupting to the eyes
and tarnishing the integrity of their lives.

They are those,
that loves to bite their fingers in regret
and at the grey's of their hairs
sit and weep to their doleful life's spent.
they planned only in their heads
at the youth of their years
and embraced the arms of procrastination,
or probably wrong actions.

I remember sitting at his feat,
just to fold arms and listen
to his words of life and spirit
he said
"Let a man, know his words can make him
let him know his actions can also break him
a perfect blend of the two,
could solve more than half of life's struggles".

But the madness of the century today,
finds joy in absurd actions,
where rights and wrongs
no longer speak for a man's integrity,
and the lips stained from its purity.
procrastination,
a lord in the dark,
helps the youth and teens,
to live with hidden marks,
on their hands and faces.

let not your tongue,
strike you first,
before your thoughts,
would make up sense.
let not your actions,
be the robber that kills,
before you decide on the right life pathways..
