"A Choice of Weapons" by Phyllis McGinley

A Choice of Weapons
by Phyllis McGinley
Sticks and stones are hard on bones,
Aimed with angry art.
Words can sting like anything,
But silence breaks the heart.

    Nothing hurts more than silence, I wish some people knew this!

    I'm think that it's a fine poem but that's not true, silence is not the worst thing- violence can kill so that's the worst!
