Arguments

People throw burning words
fires flung ferociously from one mouth to the other
the knives spit from between our teeth
leave scalding scars that cut deeper than our thoughts could ever penetrate
they open the flood gate for waves of fury and hate
and causes things to escalate
at an uncontrollably unprecedented rate
from words to fists and sticks and stones
and words hurt more than broken bones
emotionally they cripple
and cause calm lakes of peace to ripple
and it only takes one word one slur or bad call
but momma always said if u can't say something nice don't say nothin at all
and believe me an argument is nothing nice
so before you open your mouth you better think twice
Because around the wrong people, thinking twice might save your life
