Sticks and stones

May break my bones

But words can never hurt me

A deceiving phrase

Hardly said these days

Words can kill most certainly

 

Bullies push and shove

Fire words that lack love

The unique individual suffers

Painful words are said

Senseless tears are shed

Of those who are our brothers

 

Words like a dagger

Can cause us to stagger

Severe wounds take much time to heal

For those who see no light

We must put up a fight

To mend the hurt they feel

 

Action must be taken

To help those who are forsaken

To aid the damaged is in our blood

One step at a time

We abolish this crime 

Till no one is left in the mud
