Think Twice Poem by John Sensele

Think twice before you rush headlong and crash thrice
At play, at work, at church, at home, at love
Where you carve chasms at the roll of dice
Gambling, going astray, gossiping in your cove.

Think twice before you blunder and botch a task
Which your call of duty dumps into your tray
To edit, elaborate, execute before you ask
For help, for an extension on any day.

Think twice before you on your partners' toes
In a bid to make a mushy point, to settle scores
You deem you can inflict on your foes
Who you accuse of stealing your gemstone ores.

Think twice before you unleash an avalanche
A plethora of invectives and expletives
When anger clouds your judgment in a tranche
Where you blame your defeat and dismissal on relatives.
