LIFE IS NOT A BATTLE FIELD - POTD

Be strong in your beliefs and opinions Give and receive them respectfully Discuss , debate, disagree , Devoid of anger and intimidation Be polite and behave graciously Don’t try and change opinions Or what others believe With intimidation and insults Just amicably disagree Why the desire to be hurtful Trying to out-speak and outdo Using sarcasm just to be heard Desperate for control and that final word Stop being childish and hateful Bullying is not a game Spewing ugly vindictive words Is not the way to make positive change Insecurities play a part with bullies Due to lack of self worth and self esteem Feeling stronger in who they are When humiliating and simply being mean Strive for a better way Strive for a more positive you There are no wrongs or rights Just different points of view Try kindness and compassion Seek qualities in your fellow mankind Don’t engage in belittling interactions Igniting troubled minds Life is not a competition A constant game of tit for tat Being confrontational and critical Is not the way decent humans act You have created your own personal battle field Fuelled by antagonism and controversy It must be so emotionally draining Being consumed with malice and negativity
