words by Kalikala Smith we sum up our actions in words and phrases that are meaningless by themselves and wholeheartedly too long to really care about until its too late to do anything about it. countless times people have given me advice, shown me the way, given me hope... and they are words streaming from their brain to mine and yet they mean nothing without action. absolutely nothing without action and it's horrible to think that we talk to people as if words can soothe. as if words could speak volumes of what a glance can portray. even as you are reading, are you catching what i'm saying? do you really understand the true meaning of these words? or are they just a font on a page that you happen to be looking at for whatever reason. what is your motivation? what are the word's motivation, if not just to confuse you? isn't that ll this really is? confusion? do i sound smarter for crafting these words in this particular fashion? if i do then look again. they are only words. 06/12/2003 Author's Note: actions speak louder than words Posted on 06/12/2003 Copyright © 2025 Kalikala Smith Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Richard D Frederick on 06/13/03 at 12:19 AM only words, although sometimes they communicate the best...
