A Rant
Written for a friend
When you stop being judgemental
About all who surround you,
When you stop trying to teach
A lesson to everyone
Who does not agree with you,
When you stop being stubborn
In your thoughts and behaviour,
When you’re ready to accept
That others too have a right
To different points of view,
I promise to support you,
In any way that I can.
But, until then forgive me.
At my age, it’s not easy
To put up with pettiness
And crazy childish tantrums.
Miel. My goodness how well you expressed those views. I agree totally. Some people find it far too hard to consider other people’s feelings these days. (I will refrain from writing a list) 😉
I was hoping that you would leave me a comment on my haikus 😉
gerry.,
Thanks so much Gerry. I have just read your haiku from around the world and commented on them.
You are so right, Miel. There are too many people who think they are superior and tend to lord over anyone they believe in need of their counsel.
Thank you Ionicus, this rant was really a spontaneous reaction to my friend’s recent behaviour
I love a good rant! Well done. Agree wholeheartedly especially last three lines.

Thanks so much Alison for your kind comment.
Great rant indeed. We all have a friend like this and without friendship we’d never bother with them. Nice write.
Thanks Jay glad you could relate to my rant.
Thanks Gothicman…
