Les Discours by PenBoy

The tongue has no bone
But it is the strongest, sometimes the fiercest part of a human body.
From our communities to vast facebook, twitter and instagram streets,
Our tongues sting with hate;
Unconscious, sometimes conscious
Unverified, carelessly uttered words intended to divide, hurt or kill.
