Think of the damage you can do

Think before you speak or act

About how we can effect others,

How we can devastate and destroy

Somebody’s worth, dignity and sense of being,

Think of all the damage that you can cause

By the slightest hurtful word or act,

And understand that when you that

You cannot always take it back,

Something’s, sometimes you cannot always retract,

And the hurt and pain you caused them

Is because of something you may lack,

Like s lapse of care, love or empathy

And sadly that’s a sad and truthful fact,

But you have the power

Not to break somebody down just for the crack,

Just maybe they’re slightly different

Maybe foreign, gay or black, if u know

They’re all still human beings

And if you fail to see this friend, then it’s intelligence you lack.
