Insults

Utterances offering the wrong ideas Like murder-planning spears: To their recipient an enough sting But to the source songs to freely sing The seventy-two teeth of crocodile, Together jammed and survival is for a while; Participating voices ascending mountain tops Like they are sure there should be no stops; Their height a far cry from teaks; Path the resonating bellows and laughable squeaks A rivalry of cacophony And festival of polyphony; Rude demonstrations of rude interruptions And recreation of volcanic eruptions. A contradiction of the other voice is a goal, The longing for it, down the soul; The gentle questions for trickery, The applauding hands from mockery. Insults first fruits are slaps unendurable, Their predictable lasts, blows unmanageable.

As Silent One said, no need for hatred. God gave us life and we all are made in his image. LOVE needs to be the word carried out, but some just don't want to see or hear it. Great write, Chinedum.

That was a most complimentary thing to say about ' insults '. I had intended ' The Descriptive ' in it's lines. Quadruple thanks!
