I like to write. I like to rhyme. I like poetry. Most of these pieces I already performed because I love spoken word. Hope you appreciate. (images on this page are not my own)

Powerful

Powerful by Richard Perez

The collision course of my diction forces your ears into a condition where your mind tells them to listen to what I have to say. My mission is neither hypnotism nor your submission, but rather my words to penetrate surgically like an incision to your brain. I’m driven by my vision to change the world with my decision to express what I feel I must convey. Words are more powerful than one can ever envision, more than a nuclear fission, more than anything today. Use them wisely. Words are our weapons. Do not take them lightly. They have the ability to be an expression with more aggression than any violent fighting. Writing is the connection between the physical and emotional, a confession without discretion to the world, an affection of our soul. They’re used to enjoy, to love, to console. They’re never too old and never too late to show the truth, to change the direction of the youth, to reach the goals we pursue. However, words with good intention are not properly used unless the corresponding action follows through. Words are powerful. Use them wisely.
