Toxic Waste

Toxic waste
verbal hate
put down artists
blank slate
hurting people
quick judgments
without any proof
prey on the weak
pushing buttons
emotional destruction
gutted reactions
spewing in anger
utter disgrace in your face
with great distaste of soured grapes
sharpened tongues
sarcastic wit
snide remarks cutting through
sensitive skin scarring insides
bitterness consumed without remorse
aggressive force to feel superior
collecting victims along the way
without humiliation.

Toxic waste
dumping garbage
smelling vile speaking bile
rotting away from the inside
empty cores of spite lacking emotion
killing spirits to settle scores
without any winners internal sores.
