Word War

Why….sarcastic ,snide remarks To dictate and criticise Pointing that “crooked finger of judgement” Expecting all others to view through your eyes! You voice, “that should not be” Though when it comes your way You bask in all the glory Of the niceties others say Somewhat hypocritical Though I think it’s quite clear When it is not directed at you Your insecurities appear Each one of us are different We each give and receive what we desire As long as dealt with respectfully That’s all that is actually required Your sarcastic innuendos are not masked By your clever, deliberate words Your real intentions are obvious So condescendingly inferred Since when did encouraging others Become a negative Kindness and positivity Words best left unsaid? So obsessed about others In what they say and do Perhaps it’s time to focus inward Make some positive changes within you? Get down from your high horse You are the only player in this “word war” Simply, “just be nicer” There are no points here to be scored!
