~ On Hurtful Words ~
Quite sour, the words that fall in jest
And drops upon those with no contest
So sour are those which born of hate
Do flower from that branch passed down
Where love and violence, a breeding ground
Coexist, and dare to procreate..
Β But stronger still, are wrath and screams
Forcing the meek to rebel in dreams
A temporary fix, deep inside
Festers, aΒ dormant retaliation
A steely shell repelling conflagration
Causing hibernating violence to come alive...
In its finality, before the gale
Alas, actions form, with thoughts to impale
And in its ugliness bring ideas that kill
Then, a sudden outburst and out comes a knife
The rage unchecked, she stabs him twice
Such are the efforts of a broken will....
A regimen of screams, often unheard
A foundation built, on hurtful words.....

My Dear Tony,
The slings and arrows of "Hurtful Words"
Pierce one's heart and Soul
Causing pain so far beyond absurd
One's dignity oft stole
All my love,

Dear Tony,
"One on one" is coming soon.
I think before we do, that we should contact the "Guiness Book of World Records", for the longest conversation in history.
Love you Bro,
