Angry Words

A sky of angry screeching,
demanding;
like a raptor in the wind.
Doesn't have the impact
that simple warbling brings.

With fear of cruel words spoken,
love retracts,
like claws on birds of prey;
and all I loved about you
has now flown far away.

Predatory words can rip,
into beings
lovelorn at their peak.
Not accomplishing anything but
the sharpening of the beak.


Sticks and Stones

We are desensitized
We are lost
We watch as others die
We laugh at others hurt
We cry if we don’t get our way
We kill and pierce with our words
And when others mock us
We quote—
“sticks and stones may break our bones
But yours words will never hurt us”
In reality they break our souls
And haunt our conscience
For words are sharper and more harmful
Than any fading bruise.
