Reluctant Reproach

Adversaries are none When trepidation emerges Rhetoric voices undone Temper surges Contrive modes of destruction Follows continuous bashing Unequivocal construction Without talk trashing

I never talk that way and I really hate when other people do. Thank you for commenting on my poetry. :)

Well said, Angela, yes when feelings of fear arouse, tempers do rouse.

"Bashing" And "Trashing" Seems this is done without even realizing it. When you speak, whatever the topic may be- think before you say it. ~ Brandy

I agree, Brandy. Too much of it out in the world. Hopefully, people will eventually realize. Thanks for reading and commenting. :)
