Communication can be so well done

If it carries with it no underlying gun

There are many ways to express ideas

Without bringing a person near to tears



If you have something you need to say

Then do it quite directly, but do not pay 

Others - to create a message to spurn

For this just causes a raging fire to burn



And then the object of your own fury

Is likely to put things before a jury

Harassment may be second nature

But it smacks of a mind immature



So consider these words and resolve

Things within your own mind and soul

And then it won't ever come to this ...

For you will rest easy in a world of bliss



- Tristram
