Bladed Tongues

[DWAYNE]

Words can:
Humiliate.
Desecrate.
Excoriate.
Immolate.
Eviscerate,
you see,
and we
wield our laser-bladed tongues,
these fully loaded guns,
to do the deed.

[Poemahontas]

The truth

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Psalm 52:2 You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor.
For all my love of words - they can also speak demise when not tempered with charity.
Thank you Dwayne - for the eloquent reminder about the power we're gifted in verse.

[DWAYNE]

I harken back to:

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverbs 18:21

[MHenry]

As always, pointed and barbed. A clear and conspicuous message, firmly and finely wrought, Dwayne.
Yet, the sharpest tongues are dulled after high school from excessive foot in mouth insertions and the natural erosion of life.

[DWAYNE]

You sir, have a way with words!
