Dignity Of Amity Poem by John Sensele

Go gentle on the accelerator pedal
For your life costs more in gold
Than frills and thrills of scooping a speed medal
Leaving your life in strife stone cold.

Go gentle and foes pat on the back
For tit for tat yields more misery
As feeble fiddles mistakenly crack
A whip with sips and swills of brandy through usury.

Go gentle and steer away from revenge
For recriminations and insinuations raised by decibels
Invite trite rites in which you singe
Vital links in total by tolling death knells.

Go gentle and build bridges in fridges
For marble impassivity and implacability
Digs deep depressions where fig trees sing dirges
To mark a termination of intercessions of the dignity of amity.
