People in Your Life People come and go Part of our life And it is so Some through strife Harder for some To keep it together Always so dumb Bad or fair weather Prideful Arrogant Selfish Belligerent To name a few But more to ask for If you care to view Here are more Life circumstances Life traumas Life illnesses Life mysteries All kinds of reasons To be a jerk In all seasons To go berserk How you act Is how you are framed Try to use tact Or you get blamed You cannot hide For exceptionally long Sooner or later you slide You are not that strong To keep it at bay To keep it hidden To keep it suppressed To keep it smothered Useless effort Try to isolate To be better Is one trait Force others away So be by yourself No one to play Just pictures on the shelf A lonely crutch To protect your outbursts People are too much These are not unique firsts Social distancing Endless therapy Countless medicines Retreats and asylums Doctors galore Psychobabble What a bore Good for the rabble But the worse cases Must be dumbed down See it in their faces The emotionless frowns Pump them with drugs To make them acceptable No longer thugs Almost respectable They might be slow They might drool They might be lazy They might be dim But they are tamed They can be presented And beautifully framed Sat in the corner ornamented I do not want to be dampened I do not want to be unnoticed I do not want to be a simpleton I do not want to be devalued But to live in peace To live with immunity To live it must cease To live in unity Cease the anger Cease the explosion Cease the banter Cease the implosion Make a choice Or stay in a cave And listen to your own voice And be your own slave
