Words
Forged in the mouth
Executed by the tongue
Cut deep without compassion

Words
Hewn from bigotry
Stained with hatred
Abandon love in every nation

Words
Change a friend to foe
Pierce the truth with lies
Are weapons of our destruction

Words
Divide us into faiths
Encourage self righteousness
Paint a picture of mass delusion

Words
Can be melted down
Can turn into plowshares
Can be the crux of our salvation
