Though Some They May Hurt You Poem by Francis Duggan

Though some they may hurt you with words that they say
As long as their words are not defamatory in any way
Give them back in words as good as you've got
You too can have your go at stirring the pot.

Trash talking is becoming a World verbal game
Or in plainer words putting down of others in one's quest for fame
Some seek psychological advantage in their climb for renown
By doing their outmost for to put others down.

When others are probing for a weakness in you
Stand up for yourself that is all you can do
But never retaliate in a physical way
For a verbal shellacking in kind you repay.

Some mean spirited people in the World we live in
They do go all out for a psychological win
For to seek advantage at others expense they do certainly try
But what goes around comes around to them does apply.
