Wordipple
One hateful,
derogatory word
said with anger, prejudice, or spite,
can alter the course
of ones life
Weaving threads of
shame, resentment, and vindictiveness into the fabric of
our populace
ever weakening,
word by word by word
any hope for peace.
Take time to ponder
the short and
long term consequence
if tempted, perchance,
to hurt or bring low
another soul with a word
Better to replace a malignant utterance
With words of brotherhood, understanding,
and kindness.

Dear GW,
A banner of hope and I stand along side this! This write is such a touchstone of humanity and lack thereof at times. You capture how ugly we can be towards each other and most of this is based in insecurity and ignorance of each other, I think at any rate. It’s a brilliant thoughtful write. Well done!! H🌷
