Us poets
We use words...
We try to use words...
for good.
To enlighten
to educate
to share
to create
and inspire.
Others
do not use words
so positively.
Some use words
very negatively.
To hurt,
to wound,
to destroy.
They target
individuals
that they think
aren't as good,
as cool
as them,
for one reason
or another.
Maybe they
were made fun of
as kids,
as children
and they lash out
as teenagers,
as adults.
Does that make it right?
Does that make it okay?
Should they get a free pass,
should we let it slide?
No.
NO
NO!
But we must not stoop
to their level.
We must find our way,
our POSITIVE way
to combat them
with our
WORDS.
