    Whisper the Weapon

    What are they...

    They are sharp as the surgeons blade
    The weapons which we choose
    Inspired of sun and shade
    We think we can not lose

    They bring light from the dark
    or smiles from the broken
    they can crush all that is stark
    or tossed as simple tokens

    They can hurt and they heal
    sanitize or deeply infect
    They can be hard as solid steel
    or soothing tenderly in effect

    Emotions headed north turn south
    or send a thought straight to hell
    These are the bullets from your mouth
    be kind and use them well

    these are our spoken words
    an endless supply abounds 
    you are the Shepperd of these herds 
    used wisely they will astound

    Ah, they lift us up or throw us down, the most powerful weapons around.....words. Very nice display. Thanks for sharing.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
