When the Flow Stops

I like peace I don't like dissension Upsetting apple carts Is never my intention Sometimes things disturb me I try not to let this show My emotion to other people Why Go with the flow Even though I like harmony I don't seek peace at any price The expression " Go with the flow" To me, not very nice To agree with everything Just to give one ease And to be subservient So this will appease Yourself and others Who don't seem to want to know About the problems that occur in life So they say "Go with the flow" Flowing conjures up A picture in my mind Of a flowing river Or a brook of some kind Rivers and brooks That wind and bend All finish somewhere Then come to a sudden end So the flow is stunted Stunted things no longer grow So problems need to be addressed Please don't go with the flow
