Poisonous Words

Poisonous Words

A Poem by Shelley Williams

Poisonous Words

 

Speaking words that are mean

shows that evil has a tongue.

Everywhere there is hatred

it is passed on to the young.

 

How you choose to treat another

shows the person that you are.

Anger and hatred can harm

when bad feelings go too far.

 

Poisonous are nasty rumors

that are there to circulate.

It's never good for anyone

when some speak to retaliate.

 

Like the poison that we speak

that leads up to a fight.

Forgive that you save many

from the darkness within sight.

 

Make room for the peacemaker

the one person that shows love.

It only takes one good example

to calm an angry worded shove.

 

There is no room for blame,

the immature will point a finger.

"He says, She says, Who says that?"

can only make the problem linger.

 

Poisonous words, a cold heart

open to the lies inside our head.

You will feel better about yourself

if you use nice words instead.
