The Tongue Poem by chandra thiagarajan
The Tongue
The tongue
Can utter sweet words
Of love and affection
Of praise and gratitude
To fill the mind.
The same tongue
Can become a sharp knife
Of cutting with words crude
Without drawing blood
To kill the mind.
Tongue allows one to enjoy different tastes to enjoy food. But we must control it about what it does to others through voice and language it creates. Even a wound afflicted by a sword may heal but damage due to the tongue may not heal. Beautifully said in a few words of wisdom.
Yes words can cut and words can heal! Tongue if properly and wisely used can conquer and build! If carelessly used can damage and destroy! Nice write! !
the poem very aptly describes the twin sided role of a tongue........it can make or mar a life......an excellent write
Totally truer words were never spoken. Many a love has been destroyed by tongues lashing out in anger or spite. It is a dangerous weapon when used against someone we profess to love. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
Yes, the piece of flesh can win the hearts or break the hearts. Words we utter have great impact.

True words Chandra, the tongue is a dangerous weapon. Well written.
