I am not so cynical, I just for fun tried to write something from an opposite point of view. There are many with sweet words, who ooze love yet are full of bias and hate.

All lovely words when understood All so misconstrued silence envelopes our delusions Desire, we lust the attention at the forfeit of philosophy Love, we crave at Kings expense at times Sacrificing those whom love us true spilling blood at humanities alter Romance, we desire for loves embrace knowing serpents sell snake oil remedies Beware the soft spoken cringe when you hear words only a token Seeking the truth, not platitude discover love, in those that......... Breathe actions, not poetic verse

How did I miss this one, Art? So many great lines, where does one start? From the end? I can't believe someone would call this "wordy"? For aren't words the poet's tools? I can't stop looking at the ending! Beauty, matey /|\

Words in the wrong hands can start a religion or a war. Words can bring peace and harmony. Knowing who to listen to and who to sacrifice is the hard part. If only we all could breathe actions into the poetic verse.

Brilliant message and a true stand to go by my good friend! We always face those that deceive as easily as breathing. As evil is ever present in this world and takes on millions of forms. A gem my friend and a fav...

Every snake has two heads Arthur, although we don't always see the second one, It is there and it will bite you when least expected. Nice poem and Congrats on your POTD...Charlie

Congratulations Arthur on POTD honors. If a person has a "friend" who talks about others behind their back, you can bet that same "friend" is talking about you behind your back. A leopard never changes his spots.

Words constantly spoken, but like a snake get to close and it will strike and say, "I didn't do it he did it"..

A lot of truth here. I like the direct approach. Even the stubborn have their reasons and the shy their fears. I love "words" but not "wordy". My motto: KISS (keep it simple, stupid!) lol
