I Have a Knife

I have a knife It can sculpt death Can slash a pulse Can slit a neck... I have a knife It can score an anger Can bring life a real danger Can cause cursed that stays forever... I have a knife It can curve peace Can tear an anger Can split a fear... I have a knife It can draw love Can mark caress in the blood Can blade hate into a hug... I have a knife It has an eraser It can write an emotion to feel For my knife .... is a pencil... Written: August 2, 2014 @ 9:00 am Philippine Standard Time Mysterious Aries

So true! The same thing can do wonders with good deeds or can be destructive and evil.
