In Risk of Offense
Slice a wire from brain to lips
Rather than speaking your mind.
Hide it wide and far away
From ones who blister to be blind.
Cutting the connection is better
Than offending someone upfront.
So do it silently or all alone,
Do not risk being blunt.
Tears may fall or even worse,
An opinion may just break!
Dreams could even be shattered,
Come on! Feelings are at stake!
If you shake the bowels of their world,
They might just take a shit.
You'll have to keep cleaning it up,
The wire should simply be slit.
