John Turnipseed - Words

Choose your words carefully
They are thoughts unfettered
Words can be tyrants or liberators
They can create or destroy
Once spoken, can never be recalled
Their intent, whether for good or bad
Leaves its mark upon the soul
Given highest honor, spoken without malice
They are, the most benevolent resource
The world will ever know.
