What good are words !


​What good are words!
What good are words
If they can’t heal the soul?
What good are words
If they can’t touch us all?


The words we speak out off our mouth
The words on paper we pen down
The words in form of poetry 
The words that wear a story gown

The words that have the power to burn
The words that have capacity to earn
The words that could give you Goosebumps
The words that let you out of Gump

What good are words
If they don’t impress
What good are words 
If they don’t express


Everything you want to shout,
To curse, to praise, and bring it out
The revolution you create within you
The good to society you want to do

Not just express, but knock the doors
The doors where are hung the corpses of crores
Crores of dreams and ideas around
That die within you because you are bound

Bound with shackles of doubts
Bound with the judgment of crowds
Bound with the fear of failure
Bound because you lack the valour


What good are words
If they can’t ignite the fire in you
What good are words 
If they can’t melt down the shackles so few 
 
What good are words
If they don’t show your heart poured out on your pages
What good are words 
If they cannot build a monument that stands for ages


The monument of pure love
Undisturbed by eternity
The monument of human bond
That helps us cherish unity

What good are words
If they can’t turn the binary world into a mosaic
What good are words 
That don’t speak up the stories of true but the fake.
