Speaking In Tongues (Many Voices)

They spit their words like venom,

A mixture of bile and bitterness.

Each syllable fortified with distain,

Handfuls of cold stained discourse.

 

Discourse, a clanging of sharp chimes,

Sharp tongues with rhetoric for walls.

Along with a steadying thud of hatred,

Stacking their curses high as mountains.

 

Ramparts built from poison sound bites,

With every poison word a stone is laid.

Built with their own constructed enmity,

Laid one by one in logical cold dread.

 

Hatred can be weighed more than dread,

No siege engine breaks what hatred builds.

For every one that builds the prison walls,

There are those trying to tear the walls down.
