Idle Words Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Words are seeds
Words govern and shape life
Words can give life and they can kill and destroy
If words are not correctly used,
Life can be so horrible
Let's be wary of idle words.

By words God framed the world
The earth sun, moon, stars and all other planets came from words
Words can destroy
Though small the tongue is capable of destroying millions of lives
Families, Churches companies and individuals have been broken because of words;
Idle words.

Let us listen more and talk less
God gave us two ears and one mouth;
for purposes of listening more and talking less
Spare your words lest you die early
Spare your words lest you kill other people
Let's speak profitable, useful and fruitful words
God knows our words shape our lives
Refrain from idle words.
