THE SHARPEST WEAPON KNOWN TO MAN (POEM)

Neal Pollard

What’s small and blunt and often overran?

The sharpest weapon known to man.

It cuts so sharp, like nothing else can

The sharpest weapon known to man.

It stabs the back, oh who can stand

The sharpest weapon known to man?

It wounds its victims through a devilish plan,

The sharpest weapon known to man.

So hard to control and it can’t be outran,

The sharpest weapon known to man!

It’s widely used on “friends” and on clan,

The sharpest weapon known to man.

So many misuses yet impossible to ban,

The sharpest weapon known to man.

It will cost so many a home in that heavenly land,

The sharpest weapon known to man.

More damage has been done by it through history’s span,

The sharpest weapon known to man.

Please handle with care, for naught’s deadlier than

The sharpest weapon known to man.

The tongue, the tongue, when not firmly in hand

Is the sharpest, deadliest weapon known to man.
