Hold Your Tounge

Don't Say Another Word

Hold your tongue don't you dare say another word

what make you better than anyone of us

What makes you so worthy, so important

That you can spew such daggers

Hold your tongue don't you dare judge

you are no better than a modern day racist, sexiest, and homophobe

why must it matter wither your white, black, Hispanic, multicultural, women or man

what makes one person better than the other

in the end were all the same on the inside

why must we be judged by the clothes we ware, were we come from, how we are brought up,

who we hang out with, or what type of education we got

This world is a cruel place, no not the world but the society that we live in is what's corrupted

The same society that looks down on gays, lesbians, queers, and young teen mothers

The same society that uses their rules and religion to justify what they're doing

The same society that rules with a man's fist and a mother's tear

Hold your tongue and open your eye's

Remove the blind fold that covers your eyes with sheer ignorance and see the harsh reality

Look, look real hard and see the world around you, look at all the pain a and suffering that is in front of you, look at all the destruction that lies within a single word and the devastation it brings with it

Your words are like bullets and your mouth the gun shooting down those around you

Hold your tongue and listen

Listen to their cries that are hidden within their laughter

Listen for their silent screams for help when they say they are ok when truly, they're not

Listen to their breaking hearts

Can't you feel it

Can't you feel the pain and sorrow that’s within the air

Can't you feel the emptiness that fills them

Can't you feel the brokenness that they have become

Let not your words be another stone to their broken bones

Let not your words cast them further into despair

Let not your words become another wound to their wounded soul

Don't you realize that we are not invincible, we are not strong nor are we weak, we are only human

So, hold your tongue, for you are human as well

Come off your high horse, take off you're armor, and you will see that you are the same as the rest of us.
