    RETURN of the Forked Tongue

    Speak carefully sir
    Tongues have hung enough men

    Bend truth of steel

    Split promises clean in half

    Created scandals that have dismantled empires to shambles

    Manipulated masses to genocide

    Plight to perish of a wet guillotine

    Fiend of favors
    Savors the moment when harmony disrupts

    Loves a misunderstanding
    And nonsense rambling

    Words that don't serve

    Can you call it communication

    Loud voice raising

    I didn' t hear a thing

    Bringer of frustration
    Eyes buldge
    Check ya pulse
    Rapid Running Rampant
    Like a rabid dog

    Creates the impenetrable fog

    Use choice words sir

    Just one can be taken as RUDE

    Food for annihilation

    History is the proof.

    I totally feel you on the effect that words can have. Choose wisely or suffer the consequences. This very good.

    Bravo my friend!!! Great writing here and a wonderful message for all of time. Yes indeed, "Just one can be taken as RUDE..." well done write!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
