Hurtful hurtful hate filled phrases
Uttered every hate filled day
Do you not understand
How those things you say –
Affect some who can?
Why do you use words of power
Without knowing what sword you thrust
Into the heart and mind of others
Friends you talk to every day.
Is respect so hard to utter?
Is respect that hard to find?
Why is it that you do not care
When one says
“STOP”
Your friend no least
You ignore and ignore
You turn into a beast
A beast you do not know exists
A beast when pointed out
You recoil
But habits can be hard to break
I hope for you it is not too late.

So well said and so relevant to what’s going on today. Seems like so many have forgotten the impact their words and deeds have on others and eventually their own lives. Thank you for the timely post and reminder.
