belligerent beef-willed Barney backpedaled
barefaced backchat banter bubbling bawdy battlecry
beached beacon bearing bearish
beclouded befuddled bemouth beliefs.
For lessons, learned not one
Life-read is slammed tight
Till with as much disgust one more
Pains us; to know right.
With the explosive force
Of being shouted at!
Underlining, with each curse
'calm face'! 'no backchat'!
She still phones, though not to me.
I imagine her small-talking,
see her walking to the local shops with a mutual friend
who sometimes phones me just to ask
if she has phoned yet?
Birds chatter on wires,
groundhogs go to bed deep under the hedgerows,
I hear them snoring
just like she remembers me snoring in her ear.
We speak often like that -
no backchat.
A bully once roared in my face,
macho bluster, lacking all grace.
I said “Do you mind?
I think you might find,
your breath offends my personal space.”
There's no denying
We hear too much lying
In the World today
Too much cheating
And repeating
Everything we say
Too much backchat
And idle chit chat
Going all around.
Too much talk
And not much action
Abounds
Too much taking.
Too little giving
It seems a rule of thumb.
Too much heartache
And Destruction
Making all feel numb
Too much trouble
Cauldrons bubble
Making another spell
Trouble brewing
While we are spewing
Do we now live in HELL?
Officer Dibble
Always will quibble
Whatever Top Cat does.
But it's Top Cat who gets the buzz.
Top Cat
Whose constant backchat
Makes him look cool.
While Dibble ends up like a fool.

Engage.
Go back to basic
conversation, calm and cool
[No need for backchat]
Enrage.
Hurt heart hot with rage.
[encapsulated deafness]
Left without true peace.
A wise friend recently said to me: "Trying to reason with an enraged person, only stokes them up more. Engaging them in conversation, to try and calm them down, causes enragement." Hear what they have to say, they have a reason for being angry. There's "a time to be silent and a time to speak. " (This is a repost.)
Psalms 37:8; James 2:13. - In general situations.
Colossians 3:19; 1Peter 3:4. - In marriage.
Genesis 4:5 -7; Leviticus 19:16 - 18. James 1:19,20. -Your fellowman" and your "brother."

28/10/2018: "A time for silence and a time to speak..."
I know you are a gossip mongers
And you know I'm detesting you,
And you know I'm not pleased with you,
You always judge me day and night
And you follow me from left to right.
When will you stop to judge me?
When will you stop to follow me?
When I fail you are busy disseminating that tale
Through your sinful lips that murmurs around
Now my life's beautiful story would surely fall unto the ground.
Gossip, gossip, gossip everywhere
You exhibits your evil colours,
I know you are a gossip mongers here and there.
When will you see a right things I have done?
And do you know your bad character will be gone?
Enough, enough with your nonsense chitchat
Stop with all your constant backchat
Instead, mind your own lives and be fruitful
For our world to be restful and peaceful.
