One Wrong Word

One Wrong Word A word used in the wrong place With the wrong inflection Or with other wrong words No matter how innocent it was meant No matter what meaning you thought it had It can cause pain beyond nightmares Millions killed at the push of a button Food and water denied or worse A word used in the wrong place can destroy a world But the same word used in the right place With the right inflection Or with the right words It can save the universe

Reminiscent of Dylan Thomas, an exquisite pen.
