WAR OF WORDS
W- what is it with our tongues, Sierra Leoneans
A- Always spiteful in political discussion
R- Ruthless in our quest to win.
O- Oh, if only we knew that silence could avert
F- Fires sparked from heated tones.
W- Words can wound and words can heal
O- Often, Sierra Leoneans ignore that
R- Reason can be lost in angry tones.
D- Respite meaning well, a harsh tone can spoil it all.
S- So, seek to listen, and avoid the war of words.
