The World We Live In

When you speak with hatred it's as if you speak in tongue's. 
I don't understand  nor do I want to. 
Your mouth is cold and your heart is lost.
 Deception comes in any form. 
They speak with such conviction. 
That's why we believe their lies. so rare for you to bite your tongue.
 Do you think before you speak? 
Do you truly know, or do you even care. 
Judgment is part of our human nature, but it is acknowledgeable.
 So why not fight it. 
Why must you fall in with the crowd.
 Are you fond of ill words spoken of you? 
There has never been an explanation for evil only  an excuse. 
Do not defend your wrongs.
 Leave them behind and move forward with light. Be judged, do not judge.
