Tongue Disease

Oral Disease Human tongue deeply stings like an angry wasp on wings It can curl like some strings; lasso for mustang that flings. Yet, each time it pipes or sings -sweet like Angels on wings. One must be surely strong to lean on a human tongue For, it can right every wrong then to wrong also belong; When a dirge rings the gong or when Sonnet is its song. World was built by a Word that can destroy like a sword The Lass or whatever Lord- whoever cut his birth cord- Annihilation it may afford by rattle of its oral sword. When Lovers trade the Ball love heeds their Tongue's call. When Two apart they fall anger sucks both of them small For, it is an organ of thrall that can be man's downfall. 15th Sep' 2013

I've written another similar poem in a Book: My mouth has dug me a pit Inside which I moan in grit! I call it, Foot an' Mouth Disease!

Oh really.. It just crossed my mind today that I thought of tongues! Was not sure that it would make a good read. Whenever I write, I never sit down to really think of a subject. I write about whatever crosses my mind or shall I say..my path! Thanks PD-A. Please read mine more and more!..JM
