A Mere Human Being?

I Refuse to be a Mere Human Being
Does it matter what you say within?
Not long ago, we were tribe this or that, caste or clan
The WORD tells a different story for this reason:
In the image of Creator, we are like Him
But, how exactly? May be THE question
It has come to my attention
That “I am a speaking spirit being” –
That is why life and death are in the tongue:
Words we say can heal and just as wildly, kill
IT IS EASIER TO KILL A MAN THAN TO UNSPEAK A CURSE UPON HIM
