God is good. <br />I don't jack idiots up anymore. <br />How thick we are...humans. <br />How utterly full of maliciousness...you know, the 'subtle' kind. <br />The kind hidden behind a smile, smooth fluffy words. flattery. <br />Somebody gimme a spoon cuz I'm gonna gag. <br /> <br />In one breath we say 'Jesus', holler halleluia, and jump shouting praises, maybe even swoon for effect. <br />In the next breath we are just plain ig'nant. <br />Rude, nasty, and make it oh so clear that there are 'those' diff'rent than us. <br />With a passing 'God bless you' we dismiss them and leave them to their misery, not owning that we just added to it. <br /> <br />There are some monsters in the world. <br />And I don't mean the kind that have a right to be that way. <br />They are who they are and they don't deny it. <br />It's the kind that would never see themselves that way..cuz they are 'decent' folk. <br /> <br />The 'destroying' they do is more vicious because it's more subtle. <br />Veiled in secrecy, doled out in 'code'. <br />It's so much more damaging that way. <br /> <br />God help us.<br /><br />Brenda Finch<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/u-5/
