Elegance of the Tongue


Words are permanent, A trigger of memories, ideas, and experiences, Capable of beginning a war and mending a heart, Life and death reside in the power of the tongue. A trigger of memories, ideas, and experiences, Capable of creating a moment, but also able to destroy one, Life and death reside in the power of the tongue, A sacred ritual we posses-our words. Capable of creating a moment, but also able to destroy one, Having the power to light a fire within, A sacred ritual we posses-our words, The strength must never be underestimated. Having the power to light a fire within, Choose your words carefully, for what you say will never be forgotten, The strength must never be underestimated, Words are permanent.
