Nuggets Of Wisdom. No.4. On Restraint

PRACTISE RESTRAINT Like it or not, at times we have to lose But don’t fret you are caught in a noose When you know you are no longer in the scene Of a promotion due of which you were so keen Or feel you didn’t get your due After all the troubles gone through Or learn that you have been terribly ditched By someone on whom all hopes were pitched Don’t be in a rush to react For fierce could be its impact Without at once yelling at the unfairness of all And blasting out all your resentment withal Wait till your anger is cooled And your dejection slowly ebbed No one likes you venting your spleen Or looking at others with eyes green When angry, you are sure to say more than you mean And tend to create, nevertheless an ugly scene It can be so much fodder for the rumour mills That is worse than slow poison which eventually kills Peppered with a lot more than what you said And your mistakes twice doubled than what you did Your blistering and scorching tirade May come back to blast you like a grenade So let RESTRAINT be your buzz word To prevent life from going blurred!
