Speech

Libelous, slanderous speech singes the fuzz off of the peach Gossip and tale-bearing crooked ears reach no thanks to the mouth of the human leech… Speech is God’s greatest gift to man employed sparingly it can Elevate us to the highest heights sacred spaces of brilliant light

I believe it was Churchill who said "I have often had to eat my words and have found them to be a substantial diet" or something like that..

This is a poem of truth that reaches to the betterment of the human species. Should I say "good luck". We can always hope.

wise words, dearest Gershon. Indeed, words are a gift to man; yet we abuse and misuse even to the point of self destruction. Something to be said about that old adage, "Choose your words wisely." Enjoyed this poem. Thanks
