Talk

Sweet little words, full of innocence and love,

come back to the world you fled from.

With grace and kindness, you escaped to above,

and now the kind words have gone dumb.

Words turned into insults and slander

towards differences and a lack of conformity.

Words laced with venom, have you lost your candor?

Words dripping with sarcasm, why must you expose our deformity?

Our spoiled and selfish halves?

Have the sweet little words gone extinct?

Mean words make mean phrase and mean phrases mean sentences,

however changing one mean word into a sweet innocent word

turns a mean phrase into a sweet phrase, and in turn a mean 

sentence into a nice one.

So change one word.

What do you have to lose?
