this was written by reflecting on a bad childhood experience |
Why is it acceptable to Terrorize, Ostracize, and Humiliate Those different than ourselves? What deity tells you that this is not a despicable deed. What motion within yourself tells you it's not reprehensible to leave another with an everlasting scar. Scars of wounds so maggot infested, rotten and infected,so deep and so painful, so everlasting Healing just isn't happening What makes that just? What preconceived motion gave you the notion that it wouldn't destroy. What part of this is ever so ethical? What cognitive process justifies you doing this to another What about your brother, Or maybe your sister? Your aunt, Or maybe your uncle? Would you treat these family around you, With the same cruelty that you have shown another? Are we not as human as you? Since when was the right yours to criticize, That which is no different, no less a man, no more a superman, than you yourself claim to be. For being slightly less or slightly more In any field you may have chosen In the end, we're the same So why can you pragmatically criticize me With something less than a conscious I sat I listened I took all your hatefully vicious words in I was hurt I left But I learned something that you never will It's called compassion, caring and love, take a note of that I learned I grew But the scars are there and the memories still haunt. They're not going away Any time soon Likely never at all Its a fact I am forced to live with But I accept it Now I'm back And I'm calling you out On this one matter This matter which has affected me severely What lets you so savagely strip at my humanity Why is it OK? Have you no remorse? How can you live with yourself, Knowing you've broken another soul Answer me this, or hold your tongue |
