Civility Lost

By PHATwriter

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Courtesy and kindness in a pool of ignorance and blindness centuries of hateful words rivers and lakes flood loneliness and bullies years of abuse and noogies sticks and stones may break his bones but civility never hurt anyone walking down the street with a monkey on my back a lifetime of hateful works stack and stack on my back Courtesy and kindness in a pool of ignorance and blindness Tommy boy and tesla coil nothing stops a lifetime toil so count your blessings before they hatch and savor that last catch civil s a dream just like bliss another day of ignorance a rotting planet a hate filled city help us remember when things were pretty so eat your eggs and your pancakes too but look back just once and say thank you with this I part unto the night until then I say goodnight do not fear a little kindness because no matter what or how blind he is a little courtesy never hurt Written February 7th, 2002 © on Feb 07 2002 01:37 PM PST   0 • 1
