Sticks and Stones
Speak no evil
Some words will hurt you
Like a jaw hit by a clinched hand
Others will insult your brain
By a name that you cannot stand
If you say the wrong thing
Someone will get upset
Certain words will disturb the peace
And if said will cause regret
Some get a mental sickness
And say things we deplore
Some cannot take what was said
And want to live no more
If I say something ‘bout your mother
Will you get really mad
Other words hit like fists
They leave you beaten and sad
Is a word just a word
Will outrage win the day
Or are there simply things
That you dare not say
