Toxic waste
blackened paste
words that stick
hearts defaced
By sludge abused
forever bruised
beneath the crusting
phrases used
Unclean thing
how they cling
defy attempts
to shield the sting
Leprosy
our legacy
every man’s
dark felony
Guard the tongue
from speaking dung
words once said
can’t be unsung
