The order used to be
sticks, then stones,
words inflicting the least
- in damages
or quite unable to
even if the user willed it.
Nowadays it doesn't take
a word smith to launch:
a verbal "nuclear first strike"
no matter how dull the weapon
or void of wit, the wielder,
trifle words end up
meaning too much,
people understanding too little.
No wonder:
democratized medium
with neither access to facility,
nor honing of ability,
leads us not unto inspiration
(nor aspiration)
thus delivering us from thinking.
