#MIP

 

by Criminy Pickett

 

 Outrage and incense rule the day

Leading to umbrage in numerous ways

There’s never a shortage of dogs in the fray

Sensibilities not soon appeased

 

Yes, clickbait headlines that stir people up

Provoking our ire, causing blowups

Much agitation flowing nonstop

A social epidemic disease

 

But what if we took a gentle step back

Chose temperance and tolerance (that most surely lack)

And sought out more sources before we attack

Asking, “more information, please?!”

 

Three lovely, sublime letters -- M.I.P.

Allow us to pause and react more wisely

Then from a higher perspective we’ll see

The circus below from trapeze
