Poem: Words like Weapons

mrhushhush

An assault rifle
loaded with words
holds the potential
for murder

Lines and rhymes
like live rounds
fire at life
without a single sound

With a single sentence
one can teach love
or place a period
and simply end it

Just one stanza
can compel an army
like a puppeteer
and forces otherworldly

With the bare bones
of one paragraph
one can learn that stones
aren’t so bad

And with this trigger finger
I wield this pen
to put my brains
upon this blank page again

An assault rifle
loaded with words
allows the writer
to finally be heard

Hope you all liked the poem! Like, follow, share, all that good stuff.

Thanks for reading 🙂

❤️
