A Morsel

A MORSEL
This is a sweet  bitter morsel
It is very  bitter and sweet 
It is sweet as honey
And bitter as bile
A morsel  of  boneless 
But harder than skull
A morsel of honour
Likewise a morsel of disgrace 
A channel  of bliss and sorrow 
Protagonist in nature 
Likewise antagonist in career
A character of comic
Likewise character of tragic
It builds than bricklayers 
And destroyed as yam beetles, maize weevils 
In addition as termites 
It traveles miles as air does
That morsel rolls between triggers 
The morsel tasty sweetness and bitterness
A morsel kills faster than poison 
And safe faster than safeguard 
People are rotted  in prison 
Just because of it misused 
Promotion and demotion come
 The way it is applied 
People have used it to kill generations
While others have used it to sustain generation 
Some will be kings in hell  through that morsel 
That morsel will lead some to paradise 
That morsel is very vital 
That morsel  is an element of  prayer and curse
A useful articulator
Vital organ of speech 
Don't speak because you must talk 
But because you have something reasonable to say
Regretting  upon your  silence is a golden 
Than regretting after utterances
Hope you have understood that morsel?
Tongue! Tongue! Tongue! 
A sweet bitter morsel.
