Words Can Be Weapons
A short free-verse poem about how our words can have a negative impact on others
Words can kill and hurt us
just like bullets to the chest.
Our mouths can be human guns
we use to annihilate others.
Words can sting us
just like sharp needles.
Our words can inject us
with toxins our minds don't want.

What I Would Do if I Joined Vocal Today
I'd do things a bit different if I joined Vocal today instead of February 2021. For one thing; the platform itself has changed quite a lot. Acting on input from its writer/creators many enhancements to the reporting, pay structure, engagement, and even ownership possibilities are now in place. (Yes- I am aware that not every change has been greeted with approval. This is not that: I am focusing on what I would do differently today.)
