Poetry
UGLY BUTTON
Have you ever noticed
when all is going well
the old ways remain hidden
till someone rings your bell?
Your're whistling through a moment
when all of a sudden
a creep comes on the scene
and pushes your ugly button!
Sure, we fly off the handle
and even lose our cool
"I'm not the one to blame...
it really was that fool!"
They made us mad you see
after all "Im only human...
and that's the real reason
I'm a foamin' and a fumin'!
Revenge! How sweet the thought-
let me count the many ways!
We're good at this you know...
that is... making people pay!
We've got these special friends
when it comes down to fuedin'.
my enemy is their enemy...
in my corner I need rootin!
Oh, the exhilaration!
Adrenaline is such a rush!
The excitement of the battle...
wars are made of such!
Then comes the hangover
Some egg gets on your face
Getting down and dirty
will usually leave a trace!
In the passion of being right
you got your point across.
But, do we stop and think
of what it's gonna cost?
POSTSCRIPT
There is a better place...
my inner man says so...
where peace cannot be stolen
without a green light to go!
A place I choose to be
A covering of Divine protection
where humility and kindness
cannot avoid detection
There are reasons for our anger;
insecurities, hurts and pain.
Try using your umbrella
next time you feel some rain!
