razor's edge
words
when used carefully
thoughtfully
are the razor
that shaves away
obfuscation
leaving the plain truth
in sight
words
when used carelessly
thoughtlessly
can be as cruel
and as hurtful
as that razor
pulled across the throat
although with
words
the pain is not
so quickly over

It definitely is not quickly over.
I like the metaphor of how sharp can be good OR bad.
