Enough of This Stuff



I never fight about it and
Hardly ever write about
What I find hard to understand
That depresses me no doubt
So much that I avoid it then

But the incivility
Of our civil society
Chockablock with cocks who crow
On Fox or wherever they go
Devoid of civility
Cockadoodling and peacocking

This shocking meanness I see
Is getting pretty old with me
Enough of this stuff I say
Though pretty old myself I know
Better than to be this way

Tomorrow may be better when
We remember who we are
May we know better than today
From our having gone too far
When we knew better anyway
Someday to be civilly

There is always been meanness around us. But we shouldn't let it rise to the top like it has.

So true. So many have lost the ability to control and filter what we say and do. We've lost the ability to respect each other. I truly think social media has much to do with this decline in civility. It's far to easy to say something and then hit send before we have a chance to think about how it might affect someone else.
