Words and Weaponry

Words cut like daggers

With more precision than the sharpest knives

We use hurtful words so flippantly

Towards the people in our lives

A couple well placed adjectives

A handful of snide and rude remarks

And then there’s blood in the water

And more words come like hungry sharks

One last spoken dagger

With and exclamation mark on the end

The final blow has been thrown

And your unarmed opponent dead
