Why Hurt Strand Select 12

Why do we use words that hurt each other,                                                                              we would have been slapped by our mother.                                                                          Why do we do hurtful little things and big things,                                                                   do we not know it hurts and we are not showing our angel wings.                                          Do we not think or care,                                                                                                  sometime it make me want to swear.                                                                                   We put someone in tears and for what,                                                                                we may have even tied their stomach in a knot.                                                                 Last night there was no sleep,                                                                                              so today without sleep I feel like a creep.                                                                              Why do we hurt people,                                                                                                           it is simply dreadful.                                                                                                        Maybe watching our words and actions,                                                                            would bring us loving reactions.

(We may not know the battles others are fighting, so be an angel and be kind.)
