OUR MOUTHS ARE ON FIRE
Our mouths are on fire
but it is not the earth that
is scorched.
It is our souls
Our tongues are like torches
searing our spirit,
our words spewing forth like
branding irons
scarring our psyches with
declarations of hate
It is time to swallow the
bile
that clogs our throats
It is time to think before we
speak,
to let the words heal the
sores
that fester in our hearts
It is time to let the silence
breath and expand so that our
thoughts
find the strength to forge a
link
that binds us instead of
dividing us
into warring factions
It is time to perfect the
language of respect
that reaffirms our humanity
It is time to realize our
differences
are not a sin, but a
challenge
to better our world
