Double-Edged Tongue
October 11, 2013
My sword may be dull
but my words are sharp
My gun is empty
but my mind is full
Of things
that can make you
hurt
I can’t swing a mace,
but what I could say
is equivalent to
that final blow
bringing you
down to your
scarred knees
I have no cannon to fire
Yet the cynic
within me
is enough
to shoot you down
and shatter your
bones
I am my own weapon
