Verbal Abuse

Boneless tongue Breaking heart Like a drum Beating starts Curses curled Painting pain Verses hurled All in vain Name calling Verbs abused Heart falling Words used Start with N End with grin Worse shaming To offend Soul of gold Blackened skin Be so bold To defend Words absurd Can’t break in God’s true herd Despite sin

I'm with Edward. Very powerful write, Karen. The abuse is unconscionable. The response, visceral.
