Humanity's Nuclear Weapon
There is only one weapon
More powerful than any gun
As harmful as a nuclear bomb
That all humanity contains
We use it to defend ourselves
Each and every day
At times it causes harm
Sometimes it causes peace
But most of the time it results in war
Because of our ignorance
For others sometimes
We act foolish and illiterate
But this weapon not only harms
It can heal
If only we use it the right way
To take away the pains and hurts
This powerful weapon
Is called...words.
