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.
