How powerful is thy tongue,
Must I ask?
More powerful than our brain,
that controls each task?
Is it your heart, which blood flows,
that keeps you moving?
Quite possibly, it has to be,
least powerful than our lungs,
that keeps us breathing?
Can’t be more powerful than our limbs,
which provides us with mobility?
Thy physical wounds may heal,
Yet thy painstaken words may you forever feel.
The build-up is wonderful, the twist at the end, so raw and sure!
Pithy.
Thank you!
