Stupid Words

Stupid words and thoughtless tongue

Words of rage, unkindness sung.

 

Sweetness & Bitterness revolve around

Love and understanding nowhere to be found. 

 

Misunderstandings loud and clear

No one will listen, no one can hear.

 

Hurt feelings protrude from mindless blather

But hurt each other is what they'd rather.

 

Making ones self loudly understood, 

Reguardless of damaging brotherhood.

 

Years of pain and regretefullness

Could have been stopped with a little finesse.

 

Forgiveness is all one has to offer

To make things right with the other.
