Disagree
Disagree.You may disagree with what I say,
But say it I will in my own sweet way.
It might be something that I will regret,
Then you will never let me forget.
Words I know must be evenly weighed.
Dictators have crowds in their favour swayed.
In future I will be careful what I say.
Just in case I hurt someone on the way.
Sometimes words cross my lips so fast,
I do not know whether in the present tense, or past.
If only I could stop the flow that gushes out,
And not feel disappointed and wanting to shout.
When all has been said and my mouth is still,
Then perhaps my writing will show my good will.
So please if you must disagree on what I say,
Break it to me gently I do you pray.
But say it I will in my own sweet way.
It might be something that I will regret,
Then you will never let me forget.
Words I know must be evenly weighed.
Dictators have crowds in their favour swayed.
In future I will be careful what I say.
Just in case I hurt someone on the way.
Sometimes words cross my lips so fast,
I do not know whether in the present tense, or past.
If only I could stop the flow that gushes out,
And not feel disappointed and wanting to shout.
When all has been said and my mouth is still,
Then perhaps my writing will show my good will.
So please if you must disagree on what I say,
Break it to me gently I do you pray.
