Weapons or Inspiration

Put into the right hands and they become inspiration

Put them in the wrong hands and they can become dangerous

I’m curious

Who invented them?

These weapons called words

Or to others-Inspiration

They either heal people in pain

Or

They put people in pain

With just one utter and like that

You either standing on the roof of a building or you’re standing on stage

And line by line

Stanza by Stanza

You are becoming a hero to that person on the roof

Or the hero to the person who feels like they lost everything

What’s so good about being a villain?

Nothing-you end up regretting hurting that person or you won’t have feelings about it at all

So why not inspire?

You get to take someone out of their darkness and bring them into the light and who knows maybe they can do the same for you

So tell me what are words to you, a weapon for destruction or a weapon for inspiration?
