Words that Fill
Francisco Gomes de Matos
(Please see this poem and many others also at http://www.humiliationstudies.org/intervention/peacelinguistics.php)

The list of verbal abuses
Our big human frailty shows
By avoiding demeaning uses
Our communicative peace grows

Instead of verbally abusing
Cordially let's learn to speak
In place of insulting others
Let's try hard to be meek

NO! to language offensive
YES! to uses constructing
NO! to language derisive
YES! To uses humanizing

Let's not destructively communicate
For dignity we would demote
Let's constructively approximate
For dignity we would promote

If the vocabulary humans use
Are forms that communicatively kill
The education needed is to choose
Words that peace- with- harmony fill
