Words as Weapons

Words can Kill

How do you fight without weapons? 

 

Oh, I know; words!  As deadly as any gun,

 

As sharply destructive as any knife, by

 

Wielding sharp words as weapons, you can eviscerate

 

A person's soul, and leave them bleeding out!

 

Armor-piercing language can destroy a person,

 

Break through the carefully-made

 

Defenses they thought were plenty;

 

Thought of as an impenetrable barrier,

 

But soon find were woefully inadequate!

[Michael Stevens]

[Vidya Bacchus]

Alright Shirley.....oh I meant Mikey ...no really I meant Shirley lol

[Michael Stevens]

You know, now that I think about it; Mike sounds better, or Howitzer Jim works too, I guess!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Haha you sure ?Because I hear Shirley is all the rage in absolutely nowhere lol

[Michael Stevens]

Surely you can't be serious!

[Vidya Bacchus]

[Michael Stevens]

Yep, I'm a professional Self-Putter-Downer!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Yes but do you have any awards to prove it ?

[Michael Stevens]

I got a gold certificate attesting to that fact, but I tried to melt it down for the gold; needless to say, that worked out well!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hahahaha okay that was so funny.So you still have no proof.You melted the evidence lol

[Michael Stevens]

Proof? How about my writings? If those aren't proof of being a professional Self-Putter-Downer, I don't know what is!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Well what do you know.....you have a point stick lol

[Michael Stevens]

You bet your bippy I do; hey, wait a minute. Won the battle but lost the war!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Jeez you can't stop arguing even when you win lol

[Michael Stevens]

Oh, I thought you'd ask me just what a bippy was; I have NO idea!

[Vidya Bacchus]

I am so accustomed to you and your wackydoo language it sounded like a word lol

[Michael Stevens]

I BELIEVE it's located in the southern hemisphere, just in case you're wondering, which you're probably not!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hahaha dude that is not a word that is located in any hemisphere!!!

[Michael Stevens]

[Michael Stevens]

EXCUSE me! I'm sorry I'm such a lame target!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Yes you should try harder.

[Michael Stevens]

I'm trying as hard as I can, but I guess it's all for not. Have you heard from Chelsea lately?

[Vidya Bacchus]

No I think we bored her lol

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah, I think you're right, unfortunately!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Yeah I miss her but she ran far,far away :(

[Michael Stevens]

She probably thought, "This Stevens guy is bizarre; I'm out of here!"

[Vidya Bacchus]

Huh you know she was right lol

[Michael Stevens]

Hey! Cheap shot, big time; probably correct, but a cheap shot none-the-less!

[Vidya Bacchus]

I am slightly broke so cheap shots are all I can afford lol

[Michael Stevens]

Eh, ha, ha!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Right it was funny haha

[Michael Stevens]

Thinking on the fly; I can't do it, but I admire those who can!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Oh please you are the the thinkiest on the flyest thinker I have ever met!!!

[Michael Stevens]

Well, thank you for saying that; I can't think of anything else to say!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hahaha I think we have spoken all the words we know lol

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah, I think you're right; well, I do know a few more, but I don't feel like getting kick off here

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hahaha I also know those very same ones that would get us kicked off :)

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah, 'it's the death of artistic expression!'

[Vidya Bacchus]

"I know right???"

[Michael Stevens]

F*****g-A right!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Lol.....you bet I'm F*****g-A right!

[Michael Stevens]

Yeah, you're f*****g A right about being f*****g A right!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hahahahah we need help!!!!!

[Michael Stevens]

I don't know about you, but I'm WELL beyond help!

[Vidya Bacchus]

So help is here and you are way over there?

[Michael Stevens]

Story of my life!

[Marie]

You are right. Words are very powerful The wrong words, spoken at the wrong time, can topple an empire. The right ones can save it.

[Michael Stevens]

So true Marie!

[A. H. Pinley]

I hear you man, but words are just words. We are the ones that give words power. If we allow words to destroy us, then maybe we're not surrounded by the right people that can protect us and lift us up.

[Michael Stevens]

I agree with you, but some people can be negatively effected by a strangers' words. I remember myself in junior high school. It's easy for people to say, 'don't let them bother you," but you believing that, at 15 or 16; not so easy if you're an impressionable kid, who thinks of themselves as so mature, when you don't even know the meaning of the word!

[A. H. Pinley]

You're right. When your young and dumb, everything bothers you. You act as if these people have set up a camera to spy on you and that every word they say, they must know something that you don't. Here's one that would get people fighting, your mother.

[A. H. Pinley]

I should have said your mama...

[Michael Stevens]

Hey, you leave my mama out of this! I think back to how I was as a teenager, and hang my head in shame over some of the dumb s**t thing I did and thought!
