Tolerate
The more you allow,
The more you're
Allowed to be.
That's all it is,
You guys.
Be free.

Why should I tolerate?
You should tolerate
when the girl you loved hugs you.
You can’t breathe.
But respired the heat.
You should tolerate
when the boy you loved holds your hand.
You can’t make a move.
But felt the pulse.
You should tolerate
when the rain deluges you.
You can’t walk.
But sensed the fish kissed your foot.
You should tolerate
when the string of guitar snapped.
You can’t hear.
But hit the vibration of air.
You should tolerate
when the child cries.
You can’t find the reasons of unknown.
But saw the tears rolling on chin.
Girl, why do you tolerate his mess
You did everything for him
He never appreciated you
The look on your face is really grim
You put your heart into everything
But, he often made you feel sad and blue
Now you are withered and confused
Such a melancholy scene to go through
Girl, why do you tolerate the mess?
You really do not need to deal with nonsense
You sadly let time waste to the side
Lots of pain and sadness you continue to hide
He never really appreciated you
He tore your poor heart in two
There really is no purpose of you to stay there
Nothing but bad air and you need to be aware
I stubbed my toe-- OUCH!
Attempting to get order right given by my pregnant sister who yells out:
"More mustard servant!"
So I spread mustard on top of her sandwich-- YUCK!
I Attempt to cover the problem by adding a slice of bread on top of that
"JUST GET OUT OF MY ROOM! YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE!"
It's hard to tolerate my pregnant sister...
I tolerate my young son
He bought a small pellet gun
His language’s a little obscene
Because he’s just turned thirteen
I tolerate my daughter
No one could ever hate her?
Her boy friend hates all the blacks
She follows in her mum’s tracks
I tolerate all non-whites
I don’t deny them our rights
They lack British ancestry
There not part of this country
We’re a tolerate nation
With reserved race relations
We have the token black friend
Who we know but don’t defend
