To The Bonez sToned aNd Sticking witH it
Stone to the bone in the rhyme zone Outshone by the cyclone to the well-known from the unknown
Bricks and stones can be made into a home
But words can huff and puff until it's blown
Bones will heal from sticks wielded and stones thrown
But words can hurt for a lifetime
Sticks and stones have come and gone
But angry words leave scars unbeknownst
Better bring a big rock and swing a mighty thick stick
If you got the stones to start a conflict
Be very careful with each and every word you pick
Sticks from a tree may hurt me Stones from the ground may knock me down
But my profound words will make you drown
Words can cut to the bone like a knife and quick
Much worse of a hurt than any stick could inflict
The tone alone can pack a lick and make you sick
Sticks and stones may break my bones but your words may get your ass kicked
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can also hurt me. Stones and sticks break only skin, while words are ghosts that haunt me. Slant and curved the word-swords fall, It pierces and sticks inside me. Bats and bricks may ache through bones, but words can mortify me.

Love all of the crazy ass rhyming - hahahah
Great spin on the sticks and stones.
It was a lie - words can haunt and inflict damage.
Hell - can even cause wars!!!

Right on. Thanks for taking the time to drop me a line. Many thanks. I was looking for a starting point from which to begin now I have one.

Agree with everything Adel said.
The rhyming is so cool…
And love that spin… on sticks and stones.
It’s all in what you choose to do with them.
Let them tear you down or use them to build yourself up.
Words can be particularly devastating.
Verbal hurts worse than the physical.
Bruises heal, sometimes words never do.
They haunt you destroying your self-esteem.
Ghosts coming back in unexpected ways.
Bullies and abusive people apparently have nothing better to say.
Than to try and spread their misery.

Yeah you hit the nail on the head there. It's best to retaliate with kindness or just brush it off but it's hard to do sometimes because it can get to you, they don't call it spelling or cursive for nothing. Three young men in Virginia got shot and killed on the school bus I think going to play a game or something but they bullied this young man I think and then very tragically unfortunately that's the way he handled it by taking three lives but all gloom and doom aside I feel mighty honored that the magnificent rated R superstar Miss krissyX dropped in for a read sess. You're always welcome and your insightful feedback and opinions are always appreciated.
