Hard talk

Hardtalk

Words more like axes than arrows

Words more like hammers than water

Words that give a wash instead of a bath

That break the spirit and crush the bone

Or get it roaring like a wounded bear.

Talks that are spoken without consideration

Hurting with so much desperation

Could never bring the peace in any situation

Unfit words are like thorn in the mouth

Bruising tongue teeth and all

Wither they be straight from the heart

Or coined from nowhere at all

Some motives of pain and sorrows

Targeted at others just like arrows

Others without motive but really bring in the terrors

The peace of our minds should aim

Aim at that piece if a smile we place

Our words seasoned with peace and ease

Garnished with grace and laughter

Should daily be our poise and character
