How Words Can Harm

What does the word “RESPECT”

Mean to you?

To me, it mean’s

Don’t judge people

For what they are

But who they are inside

Because everyone deserves a chance

To be heard

But then there are those

That don’t RESPECT

Those with intellectual disabilities

By using the “R-WORD”.

I am not going to say it.

If you have watched “Tropic Thunder”

You will know what I mean

“Tropic Thunder” is out

And, “The Ringer” is in

Because Tropic Thunder

Makes fun of those with intellectual disabilities

No matter what Hollywood

Or, BenStiller says

Their just in it for the money

Look at who the person is

Before you say anything

To that person

Because it just might be

Someone who will get you back

For what you say

“Sticks and stones

Won’t hurt my bones

But words can be deadly”

When used wrong
