Warning

Don't say that word.
Don't say it.
Don't name that thing,
that implement, that
item of every day use.
Words have power.
They sharpen desire.
They slash at restraint.
Don't feed the danger.
Don't say its name.

Don't say that word.
Don't say it.
Don't name that force,
that juice that can run
toasters and fill you with pain.
Words have power.
They swallow intentions.
They weaken control.
Don't feed the danger.
Don't say its name.

Don't say that word.
Don't say it.
Don't name the beast,
that dark monster that
once loosed can never be caged.
Words have power.
They turn the room to red.
They transform the soul.
Don't feed the danger.
Don't say its name.

Don't.
Just don't.
