These are the people that make your life full of stress
Bring you down even when you’re at your best.
They insult you and torture you 
There’s no end and nothing to do.

Insulting them back causes a spiraling effect
It all keeps adding up just like debt
Even though some people refuse to admit it, words hurt
They put you down and bring you down to the level of dirt.

Why can’t people just get along?
Why don’t peace and kindness last long?
Something’s wrong with this world of ours
For some reason standing up for someone makes you a coward

So next time you watch a person being insulted,
Stand up for them because no one deserves it.
You’ll be thankful when that person is you
And the brave soul steps in knowing what to do

The worst person of all is the one causing the hurt
Often another that’s hurt, but doing the reverse.
Saying the words that can scar forever
Being the one who feels their insults are clever.

It’s a game that’s gone too far
Give it up and raise the respect bar.
Give the respect and get it in return
And this world of ours just might finally learn.
