Big E

the desire to provoke

--the continual need

to hear a singular voice

What's behind that shocking message

that's so important to be said?

Sex sells, an obvious ploy to make oneself  heard,

and the profane undoubtedly will arouse 

but what lies beneath all the rubbish

-a lackluster insolent way of communication-

paste that sign, it'll get more recognition

or is it that society has become too easily offended

and like an over protective parent

begs to make our choices

I prefer the sound of the rain,

the voice of the wind,

the roar of the hearth embracing fire

simple little me

it's not as if I never choose to shout

and yes, my vocabulary often lacks gentile finesse.

I'd rather build bridges,

mend fences

than obliterate the peace that costs so much

to cultivate within
