The Mirror and I by Aklile Gezahegn
You were never the words that were spoken to you
You were never the slurs that were shoved at you
You were a flower that was plucked to soon
You were that garden that filled up the whole room
Les Discours by PenBoy
The tongue has no bone
But it is the strongest, sometimes the fiercest part of a human body.
From our communities to vast facebook, twitter and instagram streets,
Our tongues sting with hate;
Unconscious, sometimes conscious
Unverified, carelessly uttered words intended to divide, hurt or kill.
