To speak one’s mind, though respectfully is our right
Not to belittle, degrade or to fight
Civilized discourse is the much desired path
As opposed to yelling, screaming and fiery wrath
~
Little is solved through righteous indignation
Ushered on through prideful inflation
To say one’s piece then give another a chance
Its likely the opinion imparted will enhance
~
To disagree is common in life I propose
But civility is preferred, surely can’t be opposed
Our differences shared spice up this world
While insults cause more harm than good when hurled
~
Opinions I’ve spoke change from day to day
Its odd how that works the minds funny that way
While I try to follow the advice offered above
Sometimes I go over the edge showing anything but love
~
I try to give heed to another’s personal views
At times I fail miserable, though not what I would choose
This is human nature, be conscious of the fact
Because once its put out there you can never take it back.
