energy boiling underground
those seismic forces ebb and flow
sometimes erupt with might and sound
energy boiling underground
such cataclysmic shifts abound
tectonic plates play touch and go
energy boiling underground
those seismic forces ebb and flow

slingshots
though sticks and stones may break your bones
hateful words are cruelly perverse
they fly through the air like arrow heads
and can injure you even worse
no armour exists that will stop the hurt
as they splinter into your heart
no salve has been made to ease the pain
as their meaning rips you apart
with hindsight you’ll suffer again and again
reliving them in your mind
but though memories fade the injuries made
are not of the healing kind
so it’s silly to charm and say words cannot harm
they can scar you even worse
than those sticks and stones which may break your bones
but don’t stay in your mind like a curse
