Russian Roulette

The power of the tongue kills,
Or can cause the frozen to burn.
What you get out is what you earn,
The gun shot signals for the spills.

Only the helpless look to hills,
Only the lost has to return,
The power of the tongue kills,
Or can cause the frozen to burn.

All fishes do fly with their gills,
Perspective is open to learn,
To die is what the spirit yearns,
It’s a market, who pays the bills?
The power of the tongue kills.
