Where Have all the Senses Gone......... Poem, by Snowflake Incorrigable, at My poetic side

Notice of absence from Snowflake Incorrigable
!

My dear old mother said to me

when you're young you spoke like a child

played like a child and did childish things

Now you are a man

You put away childish things and be a man

Think before you act that's what a brain is for

Act responsibly and respect yourself at all times

For if you respect yourself you won't act disrespectfully to others

Govern your mind and know yourself honestly and truthfully

that way no one can tell you who you are but you

And above all, have good common sense

there is absolutely nothing sensible in any negative acts or deeds,

either major or minor, for there's always a price to pay.

So I face life

my mind can never be anyone's play ground

chuck negativity towards me all day

I know who I am exactly from head to small toes

and I have never lied to myself...so

I put away childish things decades and decades ago

I no longer play with childish things

I have no complexes to project unto others

I have no axe to grind

but if you trouble me I will trouble you

and I will gladly share joy, peace and harmony with all

those I know or come in contact with if they want the same

I will never be a senseless cowardly bully who hides away

I have no reason to be, how about you???

Don't put your blame on me.....!
