Words matter.
Words matter.
Choose them carefully today.

Words are worthy and useful only when you use them
to build a better world.
SAY IT NOW
SAY IT NOW

be not afraid to speak truth
to thunder using the language of proverbs
to deliver music to homeless soldiers
eating from street dumpsters
with long spoons dining with the devil
wearing rifles loaded with a silver lining
