Human Claws

Ouch! They cause pain whether
from human or cat.
Words can be claw-like when
attacking an opponent's back.
Being swift, cruel and degrading,
Is the clarion call of our generation.

The smallest of souls have violent mouths.
Souls in people with character can hold their own,
During harangues and deceitful, vicious onslaughts.

I need not mention who I am speaking of.
Just wish they remember they were all made by God.
And one day each of them like us,
Will be buried under the dark,
stillness of God's eternal sod.

Lindsay Laurie Date: 6/30/2019 12:55:00 AM G'day Panagiota … social media for all its good points are also sadly used to destroy people with its hiding behind a keyboard vitriol - thank you Panagiota - Lindsay Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 6/30/2019 1:12:00 AM G'Day Lindsay. Indeed, you are spot-on. They are brazenly elitists in destroying the good men and women do. Search engines, for the most part participate in the same evil practice. Hide the good on any human progress. Openly out to crush anyone not in agreement with them, that's not a Search engine. It's a propaganda machine. And that's how Hitler came to be the monster!TV here is beyond the pale in meaness. Keyboard vitriol~ quite accurate. Thank you...Panagiota

Arturo Michael Date: 6/29/2019 8:10:00 AM There's great power in the word, to say good or evil...a lot of people love to use it as a whip ... Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 6/29/2019 8:18:00 AM Well, said, words can be like whips, exactly. News sources in particular, use words disguised in the form of lies to attack perfectly honorable people. It's almost like a disease...then we pass around their lies? Music keeps me centered and serene, ~PR~

Vijay Pandit Date: 6/29/2019 7:24:00 AM Your message is on point, Panagiota..no one shines by attacking another. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 6/29/2019 8:07:00 AM Exactlly! They should see and hear themselves. Nothing gained by downing another.I do mean ...any...other.))) ~PR~

Ann Gilmour Date: 6/29/2019 3:00:00 AM Oh dear, but sadly there are always people who want to destroy you with their cruel words, I truly hope this is not happening to you dear Panagiota. A very powerful write full of emotion and imagery - well written Panagiota. With kindest thoughts Ann xx Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 6/29/2019 8:00:00 AM Of course, dear Ann. It's like the milk shakes being tossed at Farage because of his political stance on Brexit. Hard in the USA, to not be verbally put down, just for political beliefs. Spitting in the face of our current President's son is a small and disgusting event. But, I tell you many Americans think that's cool and other nations" too. It's inhumane. We can disagree by vote not by abuse, correct??The USA thrives on this behavior.Very sad, Ann. Nobody here is mean to me in personal Life or online to that depth,~PR~ blessings! Thank you.
