Disastrous word - Verushcka Garises

It all starts as little as a drop of water
Just to turn into an ocean of crushing waves

It looks like a calm ocean
Just to stand tall like a tsunami

It builds up like a whispering wind
Just to turn into tornado

One little word can change the course of a day
Just one little word can bring about destruction
It is a little word that can make the earth tremble

Don’t allow yourself to fall victim to your words
Curb your tongue and count your words

Verushcka Garises (21st century) Namibia
