Bullet Poem by Practicing Poetess
Bullet
Thoughtless words, blurted in haste
Can pierce like a bullet, laying waste
The soul and body within their range
And devastate; I think it strange
That one would choose to wound with words,
When pleasant words are much preferred.

A poem of good advice better to hold ones tongue in peace than speak with hate......well penned PP
Thank you, Tom. A little self-control or restraint is much needed in today's times. Hoping you are on the mend, if the poem you wrote about Lyme Disease is true, and not merely imaginative writing!
very true! you only have to read in the newspapers about sparring neighbours, divorce battles etc.
Many times it is worse than the newspapers- - You can witness it taking place nearby. Thank you for commenting, Carola.
Thanks, Kostas! As we know, if someone just blurts something out, it can be a reaction from an unhealed scar in their past. But if someone deliberately, willfully chooses to speak hurtful things, then that person is simply a mean-spirited one.

a simple truth in your words but it is something that they have not heard they are closed minded people
There are people who take delight in shooting others down verbally- - they seem to derive some sort of sick pleasure from it. But any one of us, if we are not careful to guard our tongues, can hastily say something in anger, even to a loved one, that we will later regret. We should master the art of engaging our brains before we speak! Thank you, Louis, for your commenting! : -)
