»A Powerful tool«

by Hettie Van Zyl

Words are like a powerful tool.
You can use it as you like.
It can be like refreshing dew.
Or it can be like a snake that strikes.

But all the words you ever said will come back to you again.
It may come back like a snake that strike.
Or it may come back like soft falling rain.
It all depends how you use that tool, carefully or like a fool.
