Whinge

Whinge means to complain or to whine.

"Wanting to have children of your own is a choice, and for me, not a wise decision. And yet people who have children whinge about their children's behavior, demands, school performance, etc. I can't understand. They wanted children and now that they have them they complain about many things about them."

Words to express and

Words to conceal.

To create a dream

Or describe the real.

Words to engage and

Words to reject.

To be in agreement

Or to curtly correct.

Words to make love and

Words to make war.

To hide what we know

Or share what we saw.

Words meant to sooth and

Words meant to fight.

To darken a day

Or lighten a night.

They've no life of their own

Or are worth e'en a cent,

But that which we give them

With certain intent.

To use them with care

With our own inner light

Whenever we use them

To speak or to write

Is a goal for all people,

But one hard to achieve-

When internal impulses

Appear on our sleeve.

Words are forever and

Words can be lost.

They seem to be free

But can carry a cost.

Knowing and caring

Are two different things-

As is being aware of

What words can bring.

Words can sing and

Words can cry-

To express our deep feelings

Or reject and deny.

How we use them

Defines our own way

To all those who read

Or hear what we say.
