Worldly Weapons

We read, sing, write, speak, use
one of the deadliest weapons in the World.

Sometimes unaware of the capable destruction we hold within.

Voices echo words in tones;
Edges of souls vulnerable in heart, weak in mind.

Flesh wounds heal quicker than souls damaged, troubled,
uncertain of provocation, lost in a myriad of confusion.

Bullets pierce the body.
Words pierce the heart.
