These Hands

Just felt like writing this one. No real reason though.

These hands of mine are rough and rugged
They can Protect or destroy
They can create works of Joy
These hands of mine are dangerous in every way
They are tools to break hearts
They are tools of war
They write lovely poetry
They make wonderful motions
These hands of mine can cause a lot of joy
These hands of mine aren't meant to be a toy
They incite ones to suicide
They conduct melodies with my bride
These hands of mine have committed many crimes
They can batter to protect my pride
They can make anyone cry
These hands of mine aren't meant for you
Not even for me
These hands of mine have helped me cheat
What can I say I use my hands everyday
Won't you come and see
That these hands of mine are unique

This has a wonderful flow. I enjoyed this piece as all hands should be used for the love and care for other people. But there are just bits that need covering up and what some people are too shy to say about themselfs

A very interesting and though-provoking piece, I enjoyed this one. Nice work.

Our hands make humans, unique, indeed; however, they can be our weapon or offer a loving caress. Human hands are a marvel. I really loved the subject matter of this poem, which made for an interesting read.

Poem is amazing. Your description is true. Each of us can built great bridges or destroy people and life. Each line adding to create a very good poem. The ending was excellent. We decide the good or bad we do in our life.
