What comes to mind
when we think of weapons?
A knife?
A gun?
A bomb?
We've got idiots firing missiles
at each other
left and right,
They seem to have forgotten what
the real weapons are:
Words.
Sure I bet you're wondering.
how much damage
can a word do?
A lot actually...
Forged inside the mind,
Perfected by the brain,
Tipped with emotion
and
Sharpened by the tongue
Fired from the mouth.
I'm not saying all words
are weapons,
some are soft and gentle,
they should be treasured,
they help you to see
what little good is left in this world.
But I am telling you now,
there are words in existence,
that tear you apart,
like wrapping paper,
hoping for a surprise.
Luckily for me, there's not much left.
It takes a minute to make someone's day
And a single word to destroy someone's life.
