We are Words and Tools

We are words and tools

Making sounds

Reaching the spirit

Or crawling through the gut

Changing paths

Or hacking them to pieces

We are words and tools

Waging wars and building bridges

Drawing in those that we love

While destroying those we hate

We are words and tools

Creating languages in space

That order bombs to fall

Or flowers to cajole

We are words and tools

We are the human race
