Act Of Defiance

All at once I  absquatulated,
in hindsight now I know why. 
The craziness simply escalated,
I no longer held the desire to try. 

The pellucid message in silence
is a fierce strong-arm motivator.
Sucked into an act of defiance,
I will not indulge an instigator.

Speaking with a cogent message
I have expunged every syllable.
With no words I have set the stage
for a civil dialog to be permissible.

Now it’s your turn to open it up,
apply for a little bit of restitution.
You must swallow your pride cup 
if you want to apply for absolution. 

Time to become a showstopper,
no need to be unruly or obscene. 
I say ‘Be wise my little grasshopper, 
there is more than one jelly bean.’
