Words as Weapons

Vicious and mean
Immoral intent
Loudly and impulsively
Expressed through

Wicked words
Offensive and ominous 
Repulsive in nature
Delivered and unjustifiably 
Spoken

I used to be overly sensitive to words, but I've learned to let them roll off my back like water off a duck... especially if they're written in PS.

Lin, I try to ignore it as well but felt compelled to write this poem since some like to leave rude comments at every chance.

I really enjoyed reading your wonderful Acrostic write. Words are very powerful. Both good ones/bad ones... We need only good words for all to say/hear. Have a blessed day writing away...........
