How to kill a person

Within seconds

I will kill a person
For a moment
Showing blue sky so vast
With spectrum of colors redrawn.

I can kill a person
For a moment
Drawing line infinite
To show the end of the line existing.

I killed a person
In a second when the clock needle moves
With my sharpened tongue
Splitting life into tiny pieces.​

When I first read the title I gasped. Sir. Go easy on us people, please.
But the poem is great as always. This reminded me “ You can kill someone in your heart. Stop loving them. And one day they die.” from the My Sweet Orange Tree. Words have power to kill.

I love this poem!! It definitely is a shift in perspective. As they say the power is in the tongue. How powerful do we use our tongue? To build up or to destroy? What happens when using a tongue to destroy? You can destroy a person with it! Wonderful answers to the many questions of life. Thankkkksss🤗🤗🤗🤗

My take on this poem is different. I see killing a person as killing the old person and changing their point of view making them a new person A most lovely write.

I always try to think before opening my mouth .. sometimes I forget and dare not look back at the carnage I left behind .. an intriguing poem that made me think deep .. Neville

A tongue can be a two-edged sword.
Tell me please where I can find a place to sharpen those swords?
You are waxing philosophical.

[Arundass TP]

Emily Dickinson said that "words have the power to kill and have the power to heal"

I guess it is our choice which ones we wield...
