To Those That Wound

How dare you say that to him!
How dare you bring him down!
How dare you mock his smile,
Make light that hurting sound!

How dare you walk all high
As though you were a king,
Judging and belittling
Things you’ve barely seen!

You don’t know his life
The many demons he’s had to face,
You can’t mock his way
Until you follow him pace by pace

How can one star demean
Another just as he,
When all of them put together
Cast the beauty that we see?

They don’t scorn one another
For the difference of their light
Only aid each other
To break the darkness of the night

Right now he may seem little,
His light all shaded gray,
But you don’t know the role
He’s been casted for this play

Who are you to say
Who he’ll be or what he’ll do!
And how dare you make jokes
About the things that he’s been through!

Watch your words, little man
Because I’ll be right there
To parry those words
With the judging you flare

Watch your back, gossiper
Cause I’m waiting to find,
To fight off whispers
That you leave behind
