If somebody brings you up,
They can also bring you down.
But...if somebody can bring you down,
Can't they bring you back up?
That's the way gravity works.
What comes up must come down.
There should be a reversal rule:
What a person knocks down, they ought to pick back up.
If a person shatters another,
They ought to put that person back together.
Every shard needs to be glued.
Leaving a person in shreds
Is probably the worst thing a human can do.
Who cares about sin, when a person's heart is at stake?
There should be a reversal rule:
What a person breaks, ought to piece back together.
If a person tares another's esteem apart,
They ought to find a miracle
To mend it back together.
Each condescending words needs to be replaced with truth—
With sincerity.
Making a person feel lower than the earth beneath them
Is the worst act of haste a person can carry out.
There ought to be a reversal rule,
Where the one with all of the power should learn
How to toy with the rules of gravity.
