Attitude, Indifference, Malice


Wounding are the words
Malice their intent
 
Damage lays strewn
Glass shards, small and large
 
Carve, Cut and Cauterize
Blood dries and wounds are ignored
 
Blast, Blind, and Bigotry
Dehumanize it for self aggrandizement
 
The words make martyrs
Their blood runs free
 
Attitude makes the difference
Indifference the razor
 
Malice the bruise
Beware the target
 
Mark carefully
Stand before God
 
Weak or strong
He is our true master
 
He holds sole judgement
Wisdom walks confidence
 
Pearls not lost before swine
In everything beware, Attitude, Indifference and Malice
