Nice Nasty
by Seah Greenhorn
(poem with copyright)
Nice Nasty
such a practiced game
the ultimate goal:
to drive victims insane
with words pleasant
beginning
then ending inane.
Of what benefit
to the Giver make?
Strips this one
of dignity
and class
demonstrates
their anger
as they speak
insults
brass
revealing envy
and a lack of confidence
within;
Crass.
No sense of their
true purpose
when all time
is spent
perfecting
witty meanness
causing others
to defend
against bullying
tactics
though
pretending
to befriend.
Is this the way to love
and hatred end?
