War without weapon

War without weapon
=================

War takes place with
The help of weapons,
Weapons win or fighters win.
God alone knows.

Can a fight take place
Without weapons? 
Yes, fights do take place
Without weapons.
The weapon is your mouth.

At times the words 
Come out of your mouth
Are more painful than the 
Wounds created by swords.


Sharp weapon is nothing Compared to sharp mouth.
The wound created by a weapon can be healed.
But not the pain created by words.

Words and swords 
Hardly any difference
Except the 's' in front of sword
Both are capable of the same job, hurting people

Also, both words and swords
Can help people in their own way and style.

Good and comforting words
Are a great solace to humans.
Similarly, swords can be used
For useful cuttings

Hey welcome to PS Gundevi. Yes, words do hurt and can cut like a two edged sword

Indeed, harsh words can create the deepest wound.. They are sharper than a sword.. Evocatively expressed here..
