Here is the crappy bit of word-salad I just wrote. I was just typing up little poem ideas then - BOOM! This was born. Read it if you must, but remember, word-salad is highly flammable.
__________________________________________________________________
I
Think before you act
It’s not by choice
It’s certainly not my choice
So then, I ask
Why?
Why does this happen?
Can any of you explain?
Tell me straight to my face
I dare you
Tell me why you think
Why you would ever think
That something like this
Is okay
Because it’s not okay
It never has been
But you just don’t see that
And you never will
II
Think before you speak
Can someone explain to me
Someone, anyone
Just tell me the truth
Why forgiveness is expected?
Being forgiven isn’t free
It’s a simple truth
So why do they think it is?
Forgiveness needs to be earned
But you haven’t earned it
You haven’t even tried
Because you think you’re right
But you’re wrong
Stop spreading lies
Stop telling tales
And learn the facts
Learn about your harm
III
Be a good sport
You laugh at others
Because sometimes they lose
But when you do
You curse and shout
It’s not the fault of others
They just play the game
Why do you blame them?
Why can only you do that?
No one else complains
They smile and play on
It’s just a game, after all
Why do you stomp so loudly?
Just play the game
It’s not so huge
You can still have fun
Winning isn’t everything
IV
Answer when called upon
If I ask you a question
You shrug it off
Why?
It could be important, you know
Why don’t you pay attention?
Just give me the answer
Is it really that hard?
I don’t think it is
It’s a general question
Why do you take it so personally?
Fine, I won’t bother you anymore
If you do one thing for me
I dare you to answer my questions
