The Tongue

by Sheena Singh

When

truth is

twisted

without

elegance,

When

envy makes

sharp cuts

without

blood loss,

When

shaky wisdom

crumble

without

fear of losing;

When

shallow conscience

spits venom

without

respect of humanity;

My horizon

split..

I stand

speechless;

my thoughts

shattered

by the power

of “The Tongue!”
