Words, Balms or Daggers?

The smallest of words.    
most concise phrases  
whether solo or combined    
are heaviest in responsibility,    
consequence, or    
irreparable ramifications defined    
    
Freedom to live life    
as one chooses    
to assuage pain of injustice,    
infinitesimally salve deep wounds    
of grief by evil wrought    
on jury’s pronouncement hinges    
whether “guilty” or not.    
   
Resolve and dedication    
to “I will, “I do,”    
at nuptial altar easily uttered    
may build institutions    
of wedded bliss    
or treacherous roads    
by broken promises,    
unhappiness,    
bitter loneliness rutted    
   
“I love you” spoken    
with genuine devotion    
hope, acceptance,    
self-esteem imbues.    
while beautiful souls    
incrementally die    
denigrated when    
“I hate you”spews.
