Informational Poetry about topics that confound us
I’ve encountered many toxic people, they make you, your worst.
They always get what they want from you, even if it’s coerced.
Always getting you to do what they want, it’s just about them.
Mastering the art of manipulation, in maneuvering a problem.
Things done behind your own back, will always destroy trust.
Not respecting the person enough, on their own outside crust.
Misrepresenting the entire truth, they were deceived the truth.
The fact will be discovered, by a clever detective, or a
Emotions are in the brain, feelings are in the heart.
Our self-control and intuitions, will make us smart.
Emotions are automatically felt, inside of our brain.
Feelings last longer than emotions, harder to restrain.
Imagine that you are a puzzle piece that will make the puzzle complete.
Not fitting in that incomplete puzzle, you’d have to flip over and cheat.
You’re oriented the wrong way and direction, to really fit in, as you lay.
Choosing to not flip yourself over, the others think you have gone astray.

You must first determine if the coast is clear, and it’s safe to be disarming.
As the sands of the hourglass flow just like liquid from a faucet.
The sand flows too quickly, creating a huge amount of deposit.
As the sand begins to flow from the top, we soon begin to panic.
We fear hitting the iceberg up ahead, like the ship of the Titanic.
The car is all packed, and you’re ready for your trip.
Reaching your destination, you will guide your ship.
You’re the captain, and have the choice of your route.
Don’t pick the popular one, or the one leaving doubt.
