Word the Weapon

Of all the weapons
man has made
Be it a bomb or a
bullet or a blade

None is more powerful
than the word
Be it a written word or
a word uttered

For a thousand men
with rifles in hand
Are useless until “Fire” is
the word of command

A short madman stands
on a box and raves
Starts a world war that
sends millions to graves

Thus words need more
care and caution
Lest their indiscriminate
use cause devastation
