Every day, we use words.
We use words to say what's on our minds.
We use words to inform someone.
We use words to tell someone about something.
We use words to talk to another person.

Every day, I hear negative words.
I hear
Death
War Trauma
Anger
Terrorism
Lies
Crime
Hate
And it has an effect on our world, for the worst.

If we hear positive words like
Happiness
Love
Joy
Wish
Pray
Faith
Hope
Respect
Dream
Unity
It will have an effect on our world, for the better.
