Bloody hand prints

Bloody hand prints,
covering the wall,
there was obviously a homicide
committed here.

oh, yes you did it. You are not conscious of the how.
A true investigator will find the truth, and you will
know you did it.

Are you guilty of murder.
It only takes a minute to
make someone invisible,
to make them feel inadequate.
To have them leave their bloody hand prints on the walls.

Do you have those bloody hand prints of your
old lover, friends, or foe's on your walls.
You have to use the blue light to see them since they
have been there for so long.
You have lost your ability to see them.
But I bet if you try you can see them.

Did you cut them down with your angry words.
filled with discontent, or hate.
Maybe you were no so vile.
You just cursed them and demanded them out of your sight.

Our words,
can wound, can injure, can kill,
we just don't know how powerful they are.

Our words can also, cure, heal and give hope.
They can be the beckon for the ship lost at sea,
they can be the grace that all of us are given.
Our words can be the hope when all is lost and there is
no presence of a search party.
Our words can be bigger than the bloody hand prints on
the wall.

Bloody hand prints on the wall
how many are in your space.
