When It Comes To Responses...
I Rise ABOVE Nonsense That Most Heads Be Dropping... !!!
Because I Now Find That TOO Many Minds...
Have Become Inclined To Think That They’re Right Pretty Much ALL The Time... ?!?
And Most Folks DON'T LISTEN Or Work With Sound Thinking...
When It Comes To Their Visions of How We’re Now Living...
So Now My Responses Are Thoughtful And Conscious...
Because of Reactions From Heads Who Seem... "Trapped In" ...
A World Where Their Actions And Thinking Are LACKING...
Ways of Relaxing Instead of Attacking Like Programmers HACKING... !!!
So Are Now UNRESPONSIVE To... Vulcan Type Logic... !!!
Emotions Are Running ... A Little TOO HIGH... !!!
And Some Heads Are FRONTIN' And Claiming They’re FINE...
When They’re Clearly ... STRUGGLING ...
To Recognise WHY Their Blood Pressure's HIGH... ?!?
So Now Their Responding In Ways That Are WILD... !!!
.................... Man Woman And Child ................. !!!
We're In CRAZY Times Where It’s HARD To SURVIVE... !!!
But Some Are Responding In Ways That Are SHOCKING...
Because They’re UNNERVED By How Things Have Turned In This CORONA World... !!!
So Their Outbursts Now Serve To Cause People HURT... !!!
These Things I Observe And Now Put Into Verse...
Rather Than Let Them Be What Makes Me Angry... !!!
It Is THERAPEUTIC To Write Or Use Music...
To STOP Yourself FUMING Because of BLOWN FUSES... !!!
Responses Are Fuelling Some IGNORANT Movements... !!!
So These Days I’m PRUDENT...
Like Students And Tutors Who Plan For The Future...
When It Comes To How I Respond To DARK Clouds... !!!
And Humans Who Now Like To Run Off Their Mouths In Ways That Are FOUL... !!!
So These Days I Tend To Keep A Cool Head...
Rather Than Get Upset And Let People Stress...
The Calmness I Set To Keep Myself Cool In The Face of Abuse... !!!
Because When I’m VEX My Responses Can Get...
Incredibly VICIOUS As Well As PERNICIOUS... !!!
Or HARMFUL To Others In Ways That Can SHUDDER Like VIOLENT THUNDER... !!!
So These Days I SMOTHER Responses That Puncture...
Respect And Good Structures That REJECT Destruction... !!!
I’d Rather Respond In Ways That Make Bonds...
That ENCOURAGE Brothers Young Sisters And Mothers To RESPECT Each Other... !!!
In Ways Where Responses Do NOT Cause Us Problems... !!!
So Now My Responses Are Written With POLISH...
In Poetic Jottings That REMOVE The TOXINS...
of Lyrical NONSENSE That Sometimes FILLS COFFINS... !!!
Because of What’s PROMPTED By...... ANGRY......
