Sword's Superior

My tongue is mighty and heavy
Moving into action it looks wavy
Greater it is destroyiog
Than the blood the sword is good at spraying

I kill internally with the tongue
Collapse it brings to the soul not for long
Undoubtedly regret the sword to the dead
My tongue respect, it gets for its deed

Capable is my tongue to correct
Owing the result of its effect
Victims seeks re-think
But sword's casualties never get a wink

Rather solving, the sword brings anger
My tongue finite ending to danger
Mightier is my tongue to save life
To the sword's weakness to take life
