Ethical Persuasion

A strategic application to the golden rule
Increasing power with apologies
Break the barriers that stand in the way of communication
Our society is on some broken ship out to sea
On some long awaited chartered vacation

Exploring the other persons viewpoint

We then parade ourselves as some vested nomadic tribesmen
Never thanking the good Lord above that we are all still very much alive
Personal power is permanent
Five barriers to human communication
We all live in unique and private shaded worlds of personal experience
Nearly everyone is insecure to some extent
Everyone has difficulty handling strong feelings and maintaining a dynamic balance
Feelings are facts to the person experiencing them
We almost always perecieve some kind of imbalance
Something we don't want to face is the fear of hearing
Through trials & efforts we can all stake it's inner claim

Get up and continue to stay alive in the game
Trying new things and accomplishments twain
Ethical persuasion should all be one's chief aim
Try to be kind to one another amidst an ever increasing anger
An innate darkened societal influx that seems as of late to be going in the sewer
A startegic application in values will help aid the seeker

Ethical persuasion
