One word which describes the reason for all the fighting in the world.
JUSTICE,
The bully feels justified in hitting the small man first.
And the small man finds it fitting to fight back for Justice.
Yes Injustice is the reason why...for all the fighting in the world today.

Why has creepy ego appeared?
D.T. by some sickos was reared!
He fears loss as sin
And smears all to win
But clearly his veneer is...weird

I have one word of advice the tiny dragon admitted.
Hurry! Said the panda bear, to listening he was rarely committed.
Love, said the dragon. Love everyone – make them all your friend.
What about the grizzlies? Asked the panda. They hurt you in the end.
It does not matter the tiny dragon told his black and white friend.
Be so nice, that you would not be sad if this day your life did end.
Love the butterflies, the fish, the trash man, the trolls and amber tea.
Most of all, love conversations with friends, especially with me.

Just one Word
Just one word can drive a man to success
Or ditch him down a dreadful hole;
Just one word can trail a man in a mess,
Or can reveal a man`s basic meanness,
Just one word can reveal his callousness
Or elevate him to a divine soul;
Just one word can drive a man to success
Or ditch him down a dreadful hole.
You never gave me a
Chance to be a mom.
You took that away from Me
Before I could even
Be a mom.
Or were you scared
That I would be better mom
Then you ever were?
That I would be the better mom
You never were to me?
So you took that away
From me.
Ripping my heart out.
And ripping her out of my arms.
Wanting her for yourself
So you can make her
In your own image.
Make her like you
So she can fit in your
Perfect little family.
