Nothing Comes To Mind

Posted byAbiogbaolusholaPosted inUncategorizedTags:,

If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

From dawn to dust I sat in thought,

Racking the interlocking tissues within the socket I bear,

Which of my most familiar words should I openly betrayed and let go?

None, because all words are precious to me than gold.

No sane human can give up on the word ‘love’,

just because all wants to be loved by all,

Neither should anyone give up the word ‘hate’,

because when we cease to mention it intricacies,

the importance of love can be undermine,

All words have foundations predicated

On fundamentals of culture on which they were birth,

Men called it ‘etymology’, the root and

science of words across cultures,

Just has humans spread out from different cultures,

Words either good or bad are as humans,

By “words” the “world” was made,

Therefore friends and teachers on this site,

Any attempt to give up on any word,

Is an attempt to give up on the creative power of all words.

Words make our world so beautiful,

That’s why we are all here

To daily play with words,

To daily reason with words,

To daily encourage with words,

And to daily interact with words.

  2. Words are, indeed, wonderful and beautiful. Some say that they are only words, noises we make, but they refuse to acknowledge a greater truth. Words are abstracts that mean something. They convey an idea, an agreement! While I agree with you wholeheartedly, there is one word I would give up, for my own sake. I was in the middle of writing for this same prompt when I stopped. I stopped because I couldn’t do the topic I chose any bit of justice. You see, the word I would give up is “sorry.” I say that word over everything. For breathing, existing, having ideas, and generally just taking up space. When I need to convey an apology, I can use the word “apologize.” What would it be like for me to not constantly say “sorry” for existing? I use the word even when the situation doesn’t call for it. Maybe not “even”, more like “mostly.” Yes, if I had to give up one word, it would be “sorry.”
