Words...
We are all capable of doing great things.
The multifaceted tool we know as “word”
Is always at our disposal
In fact, it is weird not to use it
Asides those limited or with some sort of impairment, (Though they engage it in a non-verbal manner)
It is one of the ways verbal self expression is possible
As a tool, like knife
In the hands of chef, it’s shreds and dices
In the hands of a surgeon, it reveals what is hidden and hurting
In the hands of a butcher, it places the mighty bull on a plater
In the hands of an unrestrained gangster, it digs six feet just in a short fuse
Some say it’s free ( ò fé lohùn - Yoruba)
Others have concluded that it cheap (“Talk is cheap”)
Yet some have its irrevocable like a broken egg (éyín lòrò - Yoruba)
I tell you it is either a building block in the hands of construction engineer
Or a wrecking ball hanging on a crane
Hmmm
More venomous is withholding from using it when it can save a life
How has words influenced you?
