Razor Tongue

The mouth opens 
the tongue lashes 
crippling loved ones 
friends

inferiority despises opinion

Oh Ron, this is so well written. I feel like printing this and mailing it to someone. A sad truth. Excellent write. Love, Shar

this is a great poem, we do have be careful what we say, words can cut deeper than any knife, with Gods' help we can control what we say and to speak only the words he would choose, words of kindness and compassion, God bless you from diane
