LABELS
Labels are words that we use to identify something and/or someone.

Labels are used to give structure.

A label is a brand.
A label is a name.
A label is an institution.
It is also a group.
An organization.

Labels give a sense of meaning to those that we can’t understand.
Labels erases fear of the unknown.
Labels are sometimes a laughing matter,
Because of its simplicity to operate in big matters
Such as identification and description.

But a label can also be a hindrance.
It can become a means to an end.
It can also instill fear
Create pandemonium and chaos.
A label can become much bigger than its actual carrier.
It can become a barrier
Bigger and deeper than the Barrier Reef.

A label, aside from all its pros and cons
Can actually become a sanctuary.
Where everyone hides
And some would disappear into.
Labeling is man’s capability
to minimize everything into a single word.
It's what we called branding.
Putting tags and claims to acquire property,
A notion to be noticed
To be be important
Apart from everything man deemed unimportant.
Of differentiating bad from good
Even if it means to shove, all the dirt under the rag.


A label.
Little do we know, that a simple word
Can mean a heck lot more than it seems.
