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!
