THE SCYTHE OF WORDS
The scythe, an old time farming tool,
Used to clear the fields.
The blade long and thin and strong,
Sharpened to the very end...
its cuts are clean, with very little effort.
So too the words, we choose not well,
Can have the same effect.
So choose the words carefully,
Their edge is even sharper.
They strike so clean....
And very deep, and bleed our very soul.
Some words are said in anger,
Most without a thought.
The very worst of all we say. ..
We can not take them back.
Used to clear the fields.
The blade long and thin and strong,
Sharpened to the very end...
its cuts are clean, with very little effort.
So too the words, we choose not well,
Can have the same effect.
So choose the words carefully,
Their edge is even sharper.
They strike so clean....
And very deep, and bleed our very soul.
Some words are said in anger,
Most without a thought.
The very worst of all we say. ..
We can not take them back.
