Respuesta :

Answer:

This poem is about our tongue, how it can cause trouble and make peace, how it can help build someone up or how it could destroy someone's moral forever.

The poem denotes the tongue and the theme is its binary nature. The tongue speaks according to the situation. Therefore, it speaks ‘what feels right’.

The points that support the theme are:  

  • It can create 'confusion' and also resonate with others’ views.  
  • It can ‘curse’ and ‘request’. This suggests the extreme sides.  
  • The tongue can talk with good words and also utter sentences which need ‘frisking’.

Thus, the poet emphasizes various circumstances that the tongue comes across. In the end, the speaker comes to a neutral state and accepts the tongue as it is.
