(my) vociferation

(my) vociferation
(Twenty-Nine of 30 -- Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2019)

Throughout every day of being, living
words I use unaware of the damage
they can do, have done. . .

However,
we carry on
blindly tossing out syllable after
syllable with unseen accuracies
piercing hearts and souls
often, never being made aware.

Is it our pride that causes us to
not notice the carnage our biting
words leave in their wake?
A battlefield of love, laughter, tears
all silenced crumpled bodies
already decomposing has begun.

Is it humility and kindness when slapped
into enlightenment by ears torched
preferring cool wisp, whispers to flamed
words or boiling watered phrases?

Perhaps

I really need to
keep thinking
keep Feeling

before I speak.

James 3:8 International Children’s Bible (ICB)
But no one can tame the tongue. It is wild and evil. It is full of poison that can kill.
