"Alas poor Yorick, I knew him well,"
Is how the famous Bard did tell,
Of a friendship once between two men
That ended more tragic than it began
I speak of Shakespeare from the past
To prove that some lines forever last
Some quotes are gold, some perfection Some deserve a predilection
Some quotes by man are just a word
Bordering on the near absurd
Written in history between the pages
While some are genius to last the ages
Some quotes are nonsense, pure plain drivel Some will last while others shrivel Some words have power to change events
While some just leave disastrous dents
Whatever the case we must remember
Words can't kill you, nor dismember
They can only damage if you allow To affect you in the here and now
So treat all words for what they are
Some lift you up like a shining star
some bring you down like a falling rock
The important thing is not take stock
Don't take to heart the words they say
When someone steals your breath away
No one can hurt you with just a mere quote
No matter the genius of what was wrote
