Sticks With Stones

I lay roses at their feet.
They toss thorns at mine.
I speak with silk songs.
They spew wiry lines.

I approach in peace.
They come with stones.
I throw out love.
They heave bones.

How can I enjoy softness?
They rather pursue judgment.
Most good deeds go unnoticed.
Slander gets no punishment.

 Am I the target or dangerously positioned in the crossfire?
