The dangling dollop of nemesis;
Boneless six inches forming words;
Breaking or sealing, bonds of existence
Bane or elixir that destroys or protects-
Using ignorance as bliss, softens even hardened hearts,
Yet- Using jealousy as scythe, hacks a tender dream.
Using innocence as tool, soothes harassed mankind,
Yet- Using fear as dagger, stabs greatness of faith.
Using compassion as aid, nurtures the mortal being,
Yet- Using wickedness as pincers, snaps filament of trust.
Using kindness as water, douses lurking cruelty,
Yet- Using anger as lava, burns anguished feelings.
Using ecstasy as potion, kindles sublime emotions,
Yet- Using pain as skewers, pokes festering wounds.
Using pleasure as balm, revokes perishing passions,
Yet- Using arrogance as poison, decays quaint relationships.
Using hope as candle, enlightens wishful goals,
Yet- Using greed as disease, spreads recurring violence.
The worst weapon to injure and curse
Or the best cure to heal and foster;
Multitasking necessity of humanity
As best tool of brain and heart
Representing every varied feeling known.
The tongue is used to bless and to curse! Good lessons in this poem.
We use it wisely; for peace than war. Thanks for sharing.
