The Word Misused I Am

I am the word wrongly used....misused/ In a layman's terms I've been ill- treated....abused/ A professional might say I've been charged with serious crimes such as death....accused/ In circumstances where a word for morally corrupt desires would be placed, I've been placed instead....confused/ In situations and relations where I've been understood and carefully managed or used/ by managers or users, I've left them smiling some even laughing....amused/ Some say when they hear my name all they remember is the time I left hurt scratches on them....bruised/ Before existence of man I existed, but can I say I've been released from my duty....excused/ I have appeared in blockbuster movies, best selling books and novels. I've hosted and featured in the most sold songs. Most religions emphasise the usage of me, but the usage of me has been minimised....reduced/ Before I take a bow. I appreciate those who not only understood me but combined me with fellow good words....fused/ But yet still I might I've been used or misused. Abused or accused. Confused or amused. Bruised or excused. Reduced or fused. I am The Word Misused I Am.... LOVE....
