Everyone


Everyone has feelings,

Deapite their wicked ways,

Despite their virtuous ways.

Everyone has feelings.

 

A jagged critique, a dark opinion,

Hurts more than a blade to the heart.

But others disagree-

They contend they deserve it,

They contend they shouldn't feel the harrow's teeth.

 

They chant such bitterness,

Turnings against one another.

But everyone has a heart:

Every boy and girl,

Every animal and breath.

 

Can we humans be worse than animals?
