The Tongue Poem by Qiniso Mogale

The tongue is a deadly weapon
The tongue is a weapon of mass destruction
The tongue deadlier than a nuclear bomb
The tongue more toxic than deadly poison
The tongue is a serial killer
The tongue is a serial murderer.

The tongue is a deceiver
The tongue is a manipulator
The tongue is a destroyer
The tongue blesses
The tongue curses
The tongue heals
The tongue causes illness.

The tongue is the cause of marriages
The tongue is the cause of divorces
The tongue is a promise maker
The tongue is a promise breaker
The tongue is a unifier
The tongue is a divider
The tongue is a source of peace
The tongue is a source of war.
