Misunderstandings Poem by John Sensele

Missed opportunities to deepen relationships
Induced by ego tripping and selfishness
Stirred into life by mad blood to the head
Under influences of casual considerations and indifference
Notoriously corrosive if allowed to fester to extreme levels
Driven malevolently if uncontrolled and nourished
Expose foibles and character flaws
Ridiculous and risible at best
Solidly destructive
Tangibly useless and utterly purposeless
Address shallow personal needs
Normally curable if precautions taken in good time
During periods of calm recollection and lucidity
Incipient form of relationship annihilation
Nobody benefits from ensuing malaise
Given willingness to make amends,
Storms to quench and plausible solution options to explore.
