Tongue Slippage

by Sandie O. Virgo - Not entered

Who thought up
the words,
we hate?
Was it someone
who cared nothing,
for the lives
they destroyed,
with the slip
of a tongue?
Did they ever think,
where it would take us?
Far from the acts of kindness,
deep into the realms of...
hell.

Reason for writing:

    
I wrote this poem last summer after an afternoon at the local park...I was near a local street gang that had hate
on their tongues for anyone they didn't choose to like..
