he wonders not where all the flowers
have gone but where all the courtesy
has gone having been taught please,
thank you, excuse me, pardon me,
sorry, forgive me (all without
attitude), to stand aside and let
someone else pass, to hold a door
not just for women and the elderly
but everyone, but no matter how hard
it is not to retaliate he will say
those things when appropriate and
keep his mouth shut when not appro-
priate he hopes and thank the lord
for hope and forgiveness when he
doesn’t do what he should do which
on occasion he won’t especially when
he forgets to say get thee behind me
satan and as a result says a lot of
the right things with the wrong atti-
tude as a cowardly way to get away
with it.
