Our words can be as deadly as a two-edged sword

Your expressions
Give us the impression
Of your innermost intentions
Words too can kill
Kill your desire
Kill your motivation
If you think it
In your heart
And speak it
With your mouth
Then you are as guilty
As charge
Some people will say
Sticks and stones
Will break my bones
But words can't
But that's so far from the truth
For words can break the heart
Break the spirit
And destroy the will of the
Strongest human being
For words can break
As well as it can make you
So be careful in your use
Of words
Use your words to
Build and not to destroy
Words of encouragement
Words of love
Words of comfort
Words of wisdom
Used wisely can
Bring to the soul healings
And add suddenness
To the hearing
Kind words turn away
Wrath
Wise words bring peace
For in the beginning
Was the Word
And the Word was God

Until man came and

Polluted it
So to the speakers
To the writers
To the preachers
To the politicians

To the orators
To the singers
To the  poets
Please weigh your words
And measure your terms
For you will never know who
You may hurt in turn
Or who can be blessed
In your freedom of speech
Be careful someone else’s
Rights not to breach
