War of Words
Words are thrown like knives,
Unwavering, Aimed for the kill.
Obscenities fly,
Accusations run high,
The air deadly still
As the raw anger thrives.
Each soldier trembles behind a sheild
Avoiding life-threatening blows.
Dodging and weaving,
All the while scheming -
Through each mouth hatred flows,
Inflicting wounds that can't be healed.

Wow, reading your poem gave me chills...
You have amazing imagery; I was seeing a very graphic war with knives made out of moving words sheilds that were too small to be of any help. This post is one of my favorites and I hope people see this and get the same feeling I did.
Keep 'em coming, you're great!
