Boy, you have written a mouthful. Not only is your rhyme right on, but
the message is very clear and understandable. Words can build pride or destroy spirit. This, my friend is an exceptional poem.

That to date is near to my favourite in this contest. It speaks from the heart of true justice. Sadly, in today's world, true justice doesn't always triumph.
I'm currently reading all the entries presently listed in this contest, I don't think I've ever read a higher entry standard. I've not yet posted mine and I doubt I would had I not already paid my entry fee.
A great entry kahpot and I wish you well in the contest

This is an AWESOME offering for this contest, kahpot -- you show the contrasting sides of what words can do...detailing each through an easy rhythm that describes the impacts of each ...wonderfully written! ;) ;) Thanx for sharing and best of luck at the polls! ;) ;) Yvette

This meets the contest requirements splendidly with a clear theme of how words impact mankind evident throughout. The rhyme is concrete and follows a consistent pattern. The meter is for the most part fluid and reads aloud well. Second stanza line two switches meter as you stress a different syllable from all of the other lines which follow an iambic rhythm. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

This is so true. Words throughout history have been used to cause much pain and sorrow in the world. Unless we accept responsibility and change - we will continue to hurt and bleed.

You did a super job, kahpot, with your contest entry. The presentation is great--the color scheme, the picture, the monorhymed verses, the smooth flow, and above all else your message. That message is easily understood by the way you have carefully explained your thoughts/feelings. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan
