Simple Play Things

It’s dangerous to play with people’s feelings,
doing things you shouldn’t, assuming that hearts are simple play-things.
It’s just as bad to allow it to be done to you,
forfeiting the incomparable truth glue that fastens up you.

Meetings around a table that piss you off and make you groan,
are as constructive as George Bush, behind a microphone.
Crap days full of negativity like schoolyard bullying from evil children,
form a cyanide in your bloodstream, going ever deeper & deeper within.

Speak up when you are angry and escape getting sick,
from angst and feelings, playing constant mind-game tricks.
Dangerous Liaisons involve emotions & psychology,
but cleansing the air makes a healthier, stronger, you and me.

Watching voices talk at you about menial things that shouldn’t even matter,
commits you to a Dangerous Liaison with somebody’s not so grey, grey-matter.
You might get angry and say some stupid things,
or storm out resulting in unresolved situations and some sadly clipped wings.

In professions, in love, and in the Dangerous Liaison thatch,
there is just no such thing – as “no-strings-attached”.
So easily set on fire, and so fragile to begin with,
walk away from the sinful temptation of the cruel intention plinth.

Big green monsters are iffy, and meeting them is scary,
So don’t be jealous and tag this sentiment, wisely.
Some things change and some things will always stay the same,
and my integrity right now, has me leaving the Dangerous Liaison game.

Remind yourself everyday, that it’s dangerous to play with people’s feelings,
carelessly assuming that precious hearts are simple play-things...
Some things change and some things will always stay the same,
So ditch the cruel intention plinth, and the Dangerous Liaison way.
