Power In Words

Words make friendships,
Create bonds and sink ships.
They are powerful,
Enough to empy or to full.

They are daggers of hate,
Or hear-felt poems during a date.
A weapon with such a might,
With ability to hurt or delight.

Spoken razor sharp swords,
Distinguishing peasants from lords.
A power lying within the toungue,
Making a frail man strong.
