Nuggets Of Wisdom. No.4. On Restraint
PRACTISE RESTRAINT
Like it or not, at times we have to lose
But don’t fret you are caught in a noose
When you know you are no longer in the scene
Of a promotion due of which you were so keen
Or feel you didn’t get your due
After all the troubles gone through
Or learn that you have been terribly ditched
By someone on whom all hopes were pitched
Don’t be in a rush to react
For fierce could be its impact
Without at once yelling at the unfairness of all
And blasting out all your resentment withal
Wait till your anger is cooled
And your dejection slowly ebbed
No one likes you venting your spleen
Or looking at others with eyes green
When angry, you are sure to say more than you mean
And tend to create, nevertheless an ugly scene
It can be so much fodder for the rumour mills
That is worse than slow poison which eventually kills
Peppered with a lot more than what you said
And your mistakes twice doubled than what you did
Your blistering and scorching tirade
May come back to blast you like a grenade
So let RESTRAINT be your buzz word
To prevent life from going blurred!
