Juliet Ligon Poet Rhyme

Mature Audiences Only

If tolerance for violence be a sign of one's prime,
and indecency one can't unsee be viewed without crime.
If lewdness is excused as entertainment for adults
and cussing isn't obscene, just comical insults.
If vulgarity and barbarity be maturity's gauge, 
then though I'm over twenty three, I'm well underage.

Andrea Dietrich March 20, 2021 at 3:53 PM oh how interesting to see your thoughts on this. Yes, some things can be so over the top. unfortunately all the best movies I watch have usually R rating for either sex or violence. Very well written.

David Kavanagh March 20, 2021 at 12:43 PM Heya Juliet, very thoughtful poem, definitely a time and place for all the obscenities, but used gratuitously it’s just downright vulgar, but I’ve got to admit I do believe in use of violence and cussing in the right environment ie battlefields, and when under intimidating circumstances, great poem, cheers David

L Milton Hankins March 20, 2021 at 8:58 AM I hear what you are saying, Juliet. And, I think I agree, for the most part. Good rhyming.
