To Change a Mind

A quiet voice can be your choice Why yell or shout -- He'll hear you out To change a mind requires no noise But seeds of doubt to think about... To plant them firm, first pave the way Make soft the ground, with love all 'round Massage his mind for sev'ral days With message sweet, alluring sound Then start to probe, so subtle, slow With honeyed tongue and dullest knife However far you need to go You can't afford to deal in strife... And when you know the time is right Let go your bomb in volume slight ~ Iambic Tetrameter ~

It amazes me how many people give in to loud yelling and screaming - possibly for no other reason than to get it to stop.
