When Words Fail - Nov PAD day 23

When Words Fail

They’re powerful tools,

dangerous weapons –

sharp, cutting, explosive;

falsehoods, fiction, half-truths,

insults, epithets, jeers, sneers,

griping, sniping, expletives

(that ought to be deleted).

But once we become

a vituperation nation

one can only hope

that words

will fail

us.
