A Spade

Would that I should be more tolerent

Of opinions that differ from mine.

And most of the time I remain silent,

Rather than create a storm with my opine.

 

There are times when it is necessary

To expose the blatant lies I hear.

It relieves my blood pressure, to vent,

And call a spade, a spade, with no fear.

I can't I shan't I won't recant
He said emphatically
Then shook his rump and grabbed his pump
And left pneumatically.

Slay a lie where it lies. But don't believe everything you read, or even everything you believe. Some of it isn't true even if you've been indoctrinated since a child that it is.

Oh, and don't get angry… Get even.

I agree whole heartedly,
For I too remain quite like you but then there are times when I need to walk out though without regrets when i cannot call a spade a spade!
