Words and Actions Are Cruel

Twisting your tongue
words form and spew out
in anger and humiliation,
leaving victims downcast and withdrawn.

Hear the cruel and hateful remarks
you sputter to others
squelching their spirits and
damning their self-confidence.

Bitter faces frown
in motions of hate, expelled
in cold emotions
as you cause faces to redden, voices
to quiver and insecurities to manifest.

Rancid odors overwhelm as you explode
a can of rotten worms, just to humiliate and
tarnish the minds of your employees.

Sit on your high throne
in your jeweled crown and choke
on the hatred you spill to your
intelligent court,
those who have entrused
future to you.

"Who do you think you are,
you insecure yellow bellied worm?"

Words either bring life or death and judgement or praise. This is so powerful Barbra............

I believe this poem is expressing the truth. I've always been told you carry life and death in your tongue. This poem is from the heart as well as the mind, which makes an outstanding poetess!

Wow indeed, Barbara. Is it called mobbing or haressing? I know such people. Met lots of them during my work. Still dream nightmares of them even though I'm retired. Victor
