Verbal Abuse Bullies

Violet violent voice As if you have no choice You choose to be mean and demeaning Then don’t understand Heavy hands that wave screaming Your cancerous mouth shouts Cursing screaming and loud As if you have a lift to be Better than a higher power cloud You can not be loving And hurtful at the same time You are not helping with words unkind Truth can be spoken without razor words Cutting the white wings of black bird Verbal abuse is harder to prove For gaslighting fighting is so rude One day you will be old and gray With only your words to light your day Don’t be that old one who is alone With wicked words black and strong Like cold old coffee in a cup chrome No love for bullies in the retirement home

'like cold old coffee in a cup chrome' -- I pictured ornery old Joe Biden and vengeful Donald Trump when I read that line. Two guys way past their prime. ~ Gershon

If people have nothing good to say then they should keep it shut. I have no time for bullies verbal or otherwise. Tom

Words should be used to delight others and not to bully them. Sharp words can cut through any heart. Unkind words can scar and mar, but kind words can build and boost. Bullies won't have a safe shelter. Even a retirement home will reject them. Powerful poem, dear Karen.
