Jaymee Thomas Poet Rhyme

A Minichu on the Dilemma of Analgesia and Weapons

Words are cures and killers.
Each flick of tongue or wrist, there lies a decision,
Twin pillars:

Heal and maim.
Will you build new dawns or prisons?
Self-same 

You, them:
Applied visions,
Prey?

Words are cures and killers
Will you build new dawns or prisons?
Pray?

This is a very meaningful minichu and flows well. New dawns alway…Best wishes if for contest Jaymee Thomas July 21, 2024 at 3:04 PM I agree that thoughtful language can shape an experience one way or the other. Whether a haunted record of violation or a transcript of encouragement - the difference is very often a careful choice of words. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
