Trap Door

The the face-hole which makes words is a fascinating door.

Many times is pays to open, but often it pays to keep one's trap shut.

How can one be sure it which scenario they are in?

Humans possess the gift of common sense;

It proves useful for such an occasion.

Fire. Acid. Poison. Whip. Chain. Knife.

Medicine. Lifeline. Guide. Freedom's key. Game changer. Peacekeeper.

All embodiments of this door.

All lurking beneath this trap's mouth.

Who can tame the trap?

It is said to be untamable.

Who's job is it to see the trap be made effective for good?

The owner. 

But what if the owner is incapable of mastering this trap?

Let the owner's more capable caretaker teach the first commands.

The owner shall grow into the job.

Dangerous and unpredictable. 

Challenging and precious.
