Sticks and stones are words
They be
No greater vault
Alike the tongue
To bash and bruise
To slight
Deceive
Alighting lies
To ruin
A two edged sword
Or doubled axe
To build cathedrals
Cities vast
But when the tongue
Be forked found
It's sure to tear them down
Thrashing, lashing
Trashy tongues
Ought be bit out
And stoutly rung!

"Striking thoughts make my mouth thunder as I brain storm."

I agree that honesty is still the best policy and I stand firm on that ideal. Just don't go asking me any questions.

Touch, but don't look
