Saying the Unsayable

I confess, there are many things I want to and should change.
But by the same token, there are things better left as I found them.
The moth doesn't need an  assist from me to make him  a better butterfly.
Oh, I just want to make it easier and better; but better by whose standard?
If the sign says, "beware of dog", why would I doubt and  not heed? Be wise. 
If the notice says, "Do not disturb", why would I even consider going right in?
It's never more true that fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

A thoughtful and intelligent write, my friend, and one that got my gears turning, (well, MORE gears, lol - my whacky brain never stops grinding it seems) ... really enjoyed this! Best of luck in the contest, Curtis! Blessings! :-)
