The most dangerous weapon in this world,
Is not the gun, knife or sward,
It is the human mind,
Thought and the word.
***
Nothing cuts more deeply,
Without leaving a mark,
Than the words of hatred,
Openly spoken freely.
***
Words can be dramatic,
They can also be subtle,
Destroying people in a swipe,
Or breaking them over a lifetime.
***
So be cautious with your words,
And choose them wisely,
Because are not always aware,
How powerful they can be.
