Mind Your Language

Words can foster friendship
Words can create enemies

Words can trigger disputes
Words can help settle them

Words can spread terrorism
Words can counter the threat

Words can launch an offensive
Words can be a defensive tool

Words can incite attacks
Words can repulse them

Words can issue commands
Words can inspire control

Words can draw up plans
Words can execute them

Words can spark off a war
Words can negotiate peace

Words are the most powerful tools
They can do anything in this world

So, choose your words carefully 
And, use them sensibly…

Mind your language!
