We Are All Broken

Splintered bones match shattered hearts Shredded soul pieces strewn about in desolate land of discontent Why do we hurt the ones we love? Tear them down with sharp vulgar claws? Assigning blame where It doesn't belong? An attempt to evict our own unhappiness? Slither out of our misery like a snake shedding its skin? Oh the pain you've left in your wake... Dropping your stone of rage and hate in calm pond of life, circular ripples too readily spreading your unrest scarring surface of too many lives, Your blows bruising one heart? many hearts? One too many. What gives you the right?
