The power of words


They say you are who you hang out with. 

But little do you know, you are what you say.

don't be that one person, to ruin somebody else's day.

you might not mean it', but words hurt deep.

so before you open your mouth, think before you speak.

so whether your black , white , Asian , or none. 

Words don't discriminate, they can hurt anyone.

You can be Gay, straight, or somewhere in between 

think about that person before you choose to be mean.

karma bites hard, but words can bite Harder.

so just take a second and think, what if somebody said that to your son or daughter.

-the power or words 

-Zaccheus Jackson
