Stop, Or

at this point on your journey
we would like to politely request 
that you make the decision to stop
for those who are offended 
by the use of the word stop
as it negatively affects
their positive self image
we ask that you please 
momentarily suspend forward motion
if you find that this wording 
causes any sort of tension
due to religious beliefs or creed
we ask instead if you would mind
taking a brief hiatus at the designated point
if you feel that none of these options are viable
please feel free to continue on your current path
but be aware that others may chose a similar option
