mouthy


“it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles.” Matthew 15:11

when we could
offer words that heal,
we break hearts with our anger;
when we could
whisper of peace,
our words became weaponized;
when we could
condemn injustice,
we give shout outs to bullies;
when we could welcome the forgotten,
we tell them to go away
