The Power of Language

Have you ever given thought on how language  impacts you,  
good or bad it all depends on the words you ruminate & chew 
be careful what you choose to expel when your mouth spews
for it can either bless someone or wound,  bet you never knew
   
that one can learn to ponder words and usher without blurt 
do not speak on angry terms for all it does is bring more hurt   
when the sun go down, tuck away hostility and don't be curt  
make sure you  care enough not to pill, rampage, or blurt 

words can be a sanctuary to go to when no one seems to care
they can be a respite from that cruel world, your Lancelot dare 
don't let the light of the stars cease to shine because of a flare 
be slow to roll that pearly tongue, even slower to make it blare

not everyone thinks like you, wrong and right is only a concept 
so don't bully your opinions on others and make them feel inept 
please don't yank words out, it would be best if they overslept 
good bedside  manners are essential, it cannot be windswept.

Joseph May Date: 8/10/2021 9:44:00 AM Language is a two edged sword, but we should always use it wisely.. Login to Reply Mystic Rose Rose Date: 8/10/2021 10:32:00 AM It is indeed Joseph, that is why we need to use knives to butter bread and not to stab someone, lol, )

L Milton Hankins Date: 8/10/2021 9:20:00 AM Such fine advice presented in fine couplets. I try always to be kind, but, I'll admit, occasionally, I must say my piece. It is never good to bottle up feelings inside...they need release.

Vijay Pandit Date: 8/10/2021 5:46:00 AM Much wisdom in essence of your poem, Vienna. Words have the power you speak of. Login to Reply Mystic Rose Rose Date: 8/10/2021 10:31:00 AM I find some of the wisest people, don't need to talk at all sometimes, they exude truth in their actions, not words

Victor Buhagiar Date: 8/10/2021 5:04:00 AM Too true. I usually am careful with what I say, except the occasionally "shit" when things come wrong. Login to Reply Mystic Rose Rose Date: 8/10/2021 10:31:00 AM I loose one or two also when I'm made, but we try Victor
