A bow can be carved with care,
and an arrow shaped with skill.
But once it leaves the bow,
it cannot come back.
Some arrows bounce off a rhino
with its thick, strong hide.
The same arrow can touch a rabbit
and leave a mark inside.
That’s why we choose our arrows kindly.
Even soft words can sting.
The archer picks the shot —
but the one who’s hit
feels the thing.
