Trash talk

That’s all you got

When we

could be talking with reason

*

Respect and restraint

Appear very faint

We need warmth

But your attitude is freezing

**

Not like I am a saint

But the picture we paint

Better off without hiding

Or one-sided denying

Erase the mean taint defining

Get back to the top of our hearts

And best of our brains

So solutions together keep breathing

**

Cash talk

That’s all you want

When we

could talk with more compassion 

*

Reflect on feelings 

In daily dealings

We need health

But dollar signs are your ration

**

Not like we are stealing

Instead we are kneeling 

Best off not to be hiding

But one-side’s still denying

Erase the mean deal defining

Get back to the top of our goals

A shared cause appeals

So solutions together keep healing

**

Fast talk

That’s all we get

We can talk with consideration

*

Reject the rushing

Then life’s less crushing

Find calm first

Then together

share elation
