Nuggets Of Wisdom. No.1. On Words

ON WORDS Words have a circuitous route As foetus to the womb, they cling to the heart But ram into the brain as a train of thought And through our lips are expelled out These vehicles of thought relentlessly run Building bridges between man and man They unite mankind as a single clan Exposing our minds for others to scan Silence, when utterance needed is sin Use your words discreetly so as to win Let them not ring as sonorous din Throw the raucous words down to the bin Know, our words have the power to heal or mar So check out words to see if they scar Use them never as tools to sneer But as balm for men who wear and tear Let our words come out lucid and clear Let they ever be words of cheer Let them rhyme as music to the ear Let them never take the tone of a mutineer!
