Everyone has feelings.
Everyone has feelings,
Despite their wicked ways,
Despite their virtuous ways.
Everyone has feelings.
Leaving a jagged critique, and a dark opinion
Hurts more than a blade to the heart.
In some ways others disagree-
They argue they deserve it.
They chant such rude bitterness towards others,
Turning against one another.
But everyone has a heart:
Every boy and girl,
Every animal and breath.
Can we humans be worse than animals?
