M.Matusovsky, There Are Words... - Translation (Rus.) Poem by Lyudmila Purgina

By Mihail Lvovich Matusovsky

There are words, terribler than a gunpowder,
Than a shell over the war trenches,
I advise to the people in quarrel
To be careful with their words in behaviour.

There's the base, the fundation of this world,
Serious when you say word in haste:
You'll regret of this action, obviously,
Whether it will be early or late.

Please, be patient with words, while saying,
Don't pay the attention to gossips,
Because they could hurt you, being painful,
As from tiny, but sharp splinter's row.
