A firearm.
Rifles.
Handguns.
Shotguns.
Cannons and tanks and heavy artillery.
Tools of destruction war.

A blade.
Swords
Daggers
Pocket knives
Steak knives
Butcher knives
Butter knives
Tools of use in the house, yet still so dangerous.

An object used for everyday tasks.
Rope.
Hammers.
Blankets.
Curtains
Pillows
Electrical cords
CDs.
Tools of use for anything and everything.

A word.
Insults.
Lies.
Betrayals.
Truths.
Misplaced words.
Mistakes.
Tools of honesty or deceit, to build or to destroy; all too often used to destroy.

What is a weapon?
Anything is a weapon.
Everything is a weapon.
The question is…
How do we use them?
