The Right Tool

Sometimes it takes a hammer,

Other times… a sponge.

Driving nails, driving home a point,

Or simply cleaning up,

Absorbing all the overflow

Emotions generate.

Tearing down the bitter

Brick and mortar of mistrust.

 

Raise the sword of savagery

When faced with fearsome foe.

Embrace the dove and laurel leaf

When beckoned to converse.

Face the world with pen in hand

To foster your belief.

Seek the book of knowledge

In ravenous repast.

 

Measure twice your choices

Before cutting them to fit.

Level every surface, every

Angle neatly squared.

Keep your tools in order,

Cleaned and ready; within reach.

Choices make the difference

Between sanity and strife.
