Poetic Podcast Episode 23

Wait until there are no voices,
everyone’s tongue has been cut out;
Arguments can be constructive,
really there’s nothing left to say;
Eliminating dialog we forget how
muscles need a bit of exercise;
Understand this and ignore 
zillions of false narratives;
Zoom is NOT an in person connection;
Let a person speak then respond;
Instead of throwing a mask on discourse,
nibble on each other’s thoughts;
Getting a little too close for comfort 
eventually leads to better understanding;
Attacks breed a deafening silence 
cut off with an air tight muzzle. 
How are we doing this to each other? 
Our expectations should be high 
to get to the root of our issues;
How are we doing this to each other? 
Entertaining choosing sides to be sure,
remove the muzzle speak open and free.


Inspired By Dr Phil 
‘We are muzzling each other. ‘
