Reflections - Not Necessarily Yours

I don’t have time to stand in lines I won’t waste time with fools I dislike liars and cheaters And distrust self-serving rules I won’t spend my time listening to hype That’s why politicians are boring Their rhetoric sounds exactly alike And leaves you comatose and snoring Freedom of choice is for everyone NOT a self- selected few No one’s choice of a companion or mate Should be judged, denied or reviled Not in work or in church, not in law or in life, Not on any level I try not to sit down with racists or bigots Their dogma is absurd, Their absence is preferred They belong in dark corners That cobwebs and dust adorn Shunned, unwanted, sitting alone, Forgotten and foresworn I find myself impatient overall With people who court defeat They look for ways to trip and fall Their excuses are practiced and neat They back down from obstacles They won’t cope with or can’t delete I’ve learned that people like this Savor domination by defeat They will never know that victory Over adversity is sweet They’ll miss out on the joy of great rewards That is there for them to reap It’s important to know yourself And what you’re really made of I've got an inner laser brain that keeps me on track It signals if I'm misconscruing, missing or abusing a point It forces me to be honest or admit to a quality I may lack It knows absolutely the person that is me Who I am, what I do, and what I hope to be I am the sum of everything I’ve experienced and been taught But change is not forbidden and improvement can be sought If you don’t agree with me about what I’ve written above Let me remind you that being different or disagreeing Is what America propounds So I’ll keep on opining and if push comes to shove Let’s compromise: I’ll continue writing and you can leave town.
