The power of words‚ which like a snake‚ is able to slither through one’s ears and deeply lodge its fangs into the heart‚ slowly sending its venom seeping through the veins. The ability of the tongue –which gives shape and life to words—has the power to elate and bring joy‚ as well as confuse and destroy‚ an individual or even aspects of society.
