if i say that...
never been one
to say much
about what i think
about anything in particular
i'd be lying...
still contemplation
focused upon one
thing or another
you think...
will not benefit
a person
who finds pleasure in...
tearing other people down
doing what they think ...is real
has never been my thing
just gives them a platform
to get personal...
knowing they don't like
the way you think
it makes me wonder
what good it does
like an adolesent fight
what's not worth
putting up a good fight...
cause whats at stake
might not be what you think it is
though, there are those
whose views
are from another mindset
i may not happen to share
...but what should i care
their views ...are old news
and i may not be inclined
to expend the time
though
someday will come
when
something said, will create a spark...
make my face turn red and hot
hurt someone that i love
and make my day
ready for a battle
of principles
so off i go
to war
...
hope
it works
the way i
think it should
but there's danger
everywhere that who
you choose to battle against
will turn out ...just to be someone
whose only principles ...are naught
and the distraction ..will only bring them satisfaction
not to mention the attention that they sought
from somebody like you or me, seriously
be careful how you get drawn into...
something that, turns out that it's not
save your intellect and energy for protecting
whats important to you...
and let some other person be fooled
into a trap... to draw their mind
into something
thinking that it is
something
when
after all is said and done
turns out to be
it's not...
