When a hurtful word is spoken

When a hurtful word is spoken
Or an unkind deed is done
I always must remember
I am not the only one
Who has ever been mistreated
Stepped upon or pushed aside
By thoughtless harmful actions
Or selfish hateful pride.

The world is full of people
Who purposely abuse
Who lie and cheat and slander
And manipulate and use
Anyone and everyone
Who might get in their way
Of success or fame or power;
No price too big to pay.

Hi! This poem prepares one to face todays society. Each word is so true. Thanks! for posting it.

Dear pammor
Think in this way. An aged person happened to hurt by an younger person?
Will it not a wound to the first person life long?
