This is excellent in that you have made me think (which I must admit, something I am not accustomed to) about the things that I say throughout the day. My daughter says I have word vomit. LOL
If it is on my mind it usually always comes out. I guess it made me think that I should start watching and thinking about what I say before I say it. Thanks

yah its true… Rizal used it to conquer his enemy

I agree just what the Bible says, tongue is a little thing that is hard to tame.

This speaks in volumnes I like it. E.

I think we all say things we shouldn\’t and hurt people. We need to take more care. A wonderful poem.

The people that are like this – if they only knew how much those sharp words can cut. Indeed very damaging, as you vividly described.

I can’t agree more. They say, “Be kind, every person you meet is fighting a difficult battle”, or as Aristotle would put it, ” Kindness is the greatest wisdom”.

So very true!

Really true. If only we pause before we act or speak, we would be able to do a world of good…being impulsive is my second nature, but you are right, there should be control….a sharp tongue is like a double-edged knife!

I absolutely love it. The truth rings through and through. Your flow brought a powerful message from beginning to the end. Nicely done.

Absolutely true. Nicely done!

Nice job! You know, it we would treat others the way we would like to be treated, ourselves, we’d probably never hear sharp or hurtful words again the rest of our lives!

Very nice…

this is very good. i enjoyed it.
thanks for the add as well.

So true. Many people kill other people with their tongues. It is sharper than sword and hurt many people. We should be careful with the things we say.

Very true, and an uncurbed tongue can cause a lot of fire. A great poem.

that is so nicely done…

Been cut a few times myself by a sharp tongue. Well written piece and so true.

So eloquent in its brevity – the truth of it shines out.

I could not agree with you more! Very wise.

So true. Love the flow of your poem.

yes, that’s very true:) words hurt so much. it’s just a matter of understanding though.:)
