Michael Degenhardt Poet Rhyme

Anger and Time

Shake not your finger at me, I’m not a doggie
Raise not your voice, oh, I can truly hear
Cross not your arms, I’m reading you so clearly
Your reactions really are just too severe
Look not with contempt, do not judge me
Speak not out of turn, don’t speak in haste
Turn not away from me, I deserve respect now
Waste not my time, for mine is not to waste

Sharon Winter January 22, 2009 at 5:28 AM Anger is often such a hurtful, useless waste of time. So often, so many get caught up in the madness of the moment. I agree with this well expressed message. Love, Shar
