Mama's Little Hedgehog ~ Saturday, November 27, 2021

Ego raises its bristles in defense
gets angry and upset over nothing,
over stuff in twelve years has no meaning.

Raise the bar on a positive outlook
as it's so difficult to stay focused,
important too to stay warm in winter,
soldier on, persevere to get your pay,
even if you've no say in the matter.

In fact, I can't remember the last time
that I got a word in edgewise with you,
still the sword cuts both ways, that much I know.

Bristle at their offensive behavior,
really, it does no good to act this way,
if everyone acted like a hedgehog
suppose I'd find you all more attractive,
tragic how I never learned to be chill,
lost my cool over the slightest mishap,
even now, I look back in shame at life,
still, a negative example works fine.

It doesn't take much to tip the balance,
no, some people will just pull the trigger.

Defend yourself and your loved ones from pain,
even if it sounds inane to protect
foreign interests in the wealth of our land,
ever remember the earth is one whole,
no borders before humans carved the soil,
simple for a bear to cross the border,
even without a passport, I'd just leave.
