A Double Edged Sword

The truth of consequences
a sobering reflection
thinking about words
the double edged sword
an Achilles’ heel of our nation
free speech in a time of recklessness
schism in our discourse

Our words, our choice of language
a weight of responsibility
to temper our speech
to offer words that heal
that lift up our neighbor
a witness to God in us
in all we do and say
