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?

Look at you acing it! So many layers in here too. If I hadn't just attempted jumping jacks for the first time in about 10 years, I'd be waxing lyrical right now - good luck for the contest

So true and which is why we should always be mindful with how we use words. Words can shake break or make someone’s day. This is a very meaningful minichu and flows well. New dawns alway…Best wishes if for contest

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.
