he dare not correct even if she be wrong,
why does not her man learn forbearance in love,
he should know her by now, they been married long,
they were on holiday near the sandy cove.
an annoying habit most men she knew have,
to disagree with things female species say,
has a choice of red Porsche or marriage to save,
be reasonable man!if you want love, pay!

In their world of senseless thought, I plead,
A dance of reason with an unthinkable mind.
Words like waves against the oceans rocky shore,
I must strive to find a common floor.
Patience, the compass to guide my hand.
Being unable to think like a just common man.

This waif-world is adopted.
It was sewn together with patches
torn from consequences.
Old Mother Reality
took it in
out of the cold nowhere.
She feeds it now, but only
the food that it is ready to eat
mostly it's puppy food
and an all-purpose applesauce.
Like any infants,
the earth as we understand it,
wails and throws up,
plays with toys that are dangerous,
ends up
with chocolate cake all over its face.
Old Mother Reality
wipes its confused mug
(and sometimes its ****),
teaches it one small
acceptable wishy-washy truth
at a time,
and hopes the world grows up
before she lets it go
play in the street alone.

People are often unreasonable
And self-centered
Forgive them any way
If you are kind people may
Accuse you of ulterior motives
Be kind any way
If you are honest people
May cheat you
Be honest anyway
If you find happiness people
May be jealous
Be happy anyway
The good you do today
May be forgotten tomorrow
Do good anyway
Give the world the best you have
And it may never be enough
Give your best anyway
For you see in the end
It is between you and God
It was never between you and them
Mother Theresa of Calcutta
A heart of pure gold
You cared for the unwanted
You gave joy to the unloved
And you stood by the uncared for
Continue to rest in bosom of the lord

an unreasonable request
presents itself for redressal
although we neither judge nor jest
how may we deny whilst being hospitable
we begin by presenting a spherical view
hoping that better sense may prevail
but spurred by greed pleas renew
if we rightly refuse he will pale
of course we may be evasive
with niceties of kindly demeanour
rejection easy for we are not submissive
but we wish that blissful love feels no tremor
then there is also the matter of karmic consequence
for indulgence would impose on him karmic debt
our refusal entwined with love the balance
so that mirror of time reflects no regret

I’ve got about a dozen ways
To let you know I’m walking out,
A dozen steps to reach the door
And one last kiss to plant the doubt.
I’ve prayed about a hundred times
For my lips to say the word,
A hundred looks into your eyes
And one last time it stayed unheard.
I’ve thought about a thousand lives
Where I don’t stand alone and grieve.
A thousand lives where I could stay
And this one where I leave.
I’ve got about a million voices
Whispering in my ear
About a million reasons to go,
But just a good one to stay here.

I've been giving you my all for so long;
I'm starting to wonder if this is where I belong.
This love rollercoaster has been going up and down for a while now;
It's time for it to come to an end, go on and take a bow.
People that's on the outside looking in think we are meant to be;
But they don't know the struggles we go through, I'm dying inside but it's hard for them to see.
Tears that I cry seem to never matter to you;
I deserve better than to put up with the crap you do.
This love is unreasonable, my love is being taking advantage of;
It's time for me to take a stand and show the world what it really means to love.
The way you act is making it hard, hard to even love you like I use too;
I regret even calling you my hubby, baby, hunnie, and boo.
Why am I still trying?
I can't put up with this any longer.....
You don't treat me like you should
....This love is UNREASONABLE!
