words can heal,
they can transform,
they can
turn dark days bright,
but they can also
inflict wounds,
destroy,
so they must
be used
with great care.
watch your tongue,
lest you fork lightning
of withering havoc
when
passion catches fire.
mind your words;
recognize their
power.
a misused tongue,
an epee piercing
deep into
the core
of the soul.
stay calm,
count to 10;
remember,
nasty invectives
can never be unsaid.
when
angry, watch your tongue!
