An FINAL abedecarian
Actually
Bugger this,
Call me absurd,
Devil’s advocate, just contrary
Even a sulky old fart.
For I refuse to play ball
Grumpy crossed arms and all,
Huffy, bitter of heart.
I
Jest not,
Keep your thoughts,
Let me have mine,
Maybe you think me daft.
Not every thing’s about you
Opine all you want to
Polemics aren’t your craft.
Quiet,
Respect peace,
Silence is golder
Than your endless twitter,
Utter less, I’m pleading now.
Voicing each thought in your mind
Won’t help you be kind.
Xenophilia avoids a row.
You know I’m wrong, and I know I’m right,
Zip it, if you even know how.

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.

Haha I love a good chuckle. This gave me “not in my back yard vibes”.
I'll try.
I approve this message!
Well this started some conversations. Church and state, an ongoing issue. Great poem.
Well done!!
Take a round of applause. This was unhinged and bloody marvellous, Ms Moore! For your Last entry...it's a good one. Also...thank you for the eye twitch in your subtitle...which I assume is deliberate? :)
Some people just need to shut up. I get that. My husband says "Opinions are like arseholes: everyone's got one" and it's an appropriate analogy as both of them have strong associations with a lot of hot air.
Oooo, polemics! That's a new word for me! Your Abecedarian, you knocked it out of the park! So freaking brilliant!
I Love this poem!!! “Silence is golder than your endless twitter”. Yaaaaas! 💪🏼 Even if it’s not your opinion I still loved it lol
Delightful! I especially loved 'bugger this' and 'sulky old fart!' Also, it made me look up xenophilia, so I learned something too.
the tone of this was outstanding. You really did well with this one
Ha! This was brill! Great writing.
Since everyone else has touched on this line: "You know I’m wrong, and I know I’m right" is such a truism in almost every conversation. It's an interesting theory to wrap your head around.
Wow! So much fun to read. Yep, “ You know I’m wrong, and I know I’m right, Zip it, if you even know how.” Sounds like my bossy elder bro and me!!😵💫🤣
' You know I’m wrong, and I know I’m right,' This is a perfect line....I really enjoyed where you took this. (Should I say congratulations now for TS?)
"You know I’m wrong, and I know I’m right," - I thought that line would read "You know you're wrong, and I know I’m right." Call me perplexed. Polemics, huh, I learned a new word. It is weird when there's a separation of the church and government, but the church and government are still heavily intertwined, sometimes for negative reasons. This also reminds me that some people speak so much that they can't hear themselves think.
So much tweeting and so little music.
Two subjects to avoid. Well done.
