Sharper Than A Sword [#freewrite episode 1]
I want to tell something important
That I believe you must hear
In your mind I hope, you'll need to ponder.
Please take good care of your tongue
when you start to speak to others
For just one slip of a tongue,
you may not get over
You might ruin a joyous moment
of your own brother
Oh, brother believe me when I say
that a sword can kill a man in an instant
But the sharpness of a tongue
when abused in any condition
Can let a man kill his own soul
a thousand times in repetition!
This is why a sword has a sheath
and so our mind is like a tongue's scabbard
So we may learn to think first
before our mouth will open
For just one word we will utter
may leave a mighty spirit heartbroken...
...FOREVER!...
This is my first #freewrite piece. Thanks to @michellpiala for her free spirit in writing that encouraged me to be free also from the norms of standard writings.
Of course #freewrite will not be possible without the initiative of @mariannewest and @improv for bringing this free spirit of writing here in #steemit community.

A real nice freewrite and it's completely true what you said. I'd rather be hit by a sword, that wounds can heal, but the wounds of a mean tongue you'll carry with you forever.
