Hurtful Words

Some people think That words on a screen Don’t mean as much; So they have the right to be mean. Those people don’t know How much it hurts To be receiving Those hateful words. They don’t understand The power they hold With each letter they type, With each word they make bold. They don’t think a bit About what might come When that message receiver Decides to succumb. They don’t ever foresee The dreaded result Of a person attacked By an online cult. The World Wide Web Was not created For the ignorant to attack And the innocent hated. With every “Like” button pressed And comment sent, You give people a taste Of who you represent. So next time you’re online And want to act like a fool, Just keep in mind That cyber bullying’s not cool.
