War

I walk on the battlefield

Unarmed but for my tongue.

The opponent enters too.

And now I an scared

For I have no armor.

No battle shield.

No sword for the fight.

The first word spoken

Hits like a nuclear bomb

The damage of which cannot be undone for millions of years.

I counterattack.

And my opponent falls.

The pain caused by one flip of the tongue

Is enough to kill a man.

The deed is done

And I walk off the field.

A hollow victory I have won,

The aftermath of which I cannot endure.
