WORDS

Words are cool
Words can soothe
Words can heal
Words can kill

Words have got
Many men their wives
Words have cost
Many men their lives

Words have driven the meek to war
Words have sheathed bloodthirsty swords
With words we teach
With words we preach

Of words
We continually learn
Of its fruits
We shall always earn

We ought to always make
Our every word kind
Consequences of what we say
We should always mind
