He Who Has Control of Words...
He who has control of words can control the universe
Or at least have the masses do his bidding
He who has control of words can stir up emotions
Swaying their choices however he sees fitting
There have been those who understood the power of words
Throughout history many have been great orators
Some have taken to help out and change the world
While others sought more power to become dictators
Yet if those who know words but don’t know their meaning
They will raise false hopes in hollowed out souls
And the consequences of the words will be catastrophic
Because those who seek power can as easily lose control
Or at least have the masses do his bidding
He who has control of words can stir up emotions
Swaying their choices however he sees fitting
There have been those who understood the power of words
Throughout history many have been great orators
Some have taken to help out and change the world
While others sought more power to become dictators
Yet if those who know words but don’t know their meaning
They will raise false hopes in hollowed out souls
And the consequences of the words will be catastrophic
Because those who seek power can as easily lose control

Thank you very much for your comment and RL
There is power in words and we can certainly see it in how many have used it to their advantage.
