Sword of Words

Some words can,

Pierce through the heart.

Some words can,

Soothe ones mind.

Where do you belong?

Words are so gallant,

Like a roman warrior.

Words are sharp too,

Like rays from the sun.

While some simply,

Makes theirs recklessly.

Are you someone,

That watch your words?

Are you someone,

That says gibberish,

Which has no meaning to human hearing?

Are you someone that,

Just go around hurting,

With your hurtful tongue?

Words are meant to be built,

With beauty and poise.

But you decide that it is to be built,

Harsh like knives,

That cut through ones flesh.

Words changes live to be better,

But you use the words to tarnish ones image.

Words put laughter on the face,

But you decide to use it to make someone weeps.

Why brother? Why sister?

Why don't you use the word,

To change someones life,

Either mentally, psychologically, and physically?

Why don't you use your words,

To make an impact in the world?

Finally, I will say,

Instead of using your words,

To hurt someone both internally and externally,

Then why not keep quiet?

Because a statement made out,

Is just like an egg,

Once broken, it can never be joined together again.

Words travels wide and can never be taken back.

And can never be forgotten by the person that received it.
