Touchy Subjects
We cannot speak of family matters,
dare not speak of sex.
If we name things that we desire,
it’s sure to bring a hex.
Politics? Religion? They really are taboo.
In short, there’s hardly anything I can discuss with you.
Perhaps if we learned languages
that we could speak with hands—
expressions spoken by the deaf
or certain foreign lands,
we’d dare to speak of matters not uttered by the tongue,
and all these censored topics would no longer go unsung.
If we could say everything
that chanced across our mind––
subjects that are touchy,
volatile, unkind––
all those niggling topics formerly kept quiet?
I’ve no doubt the outcome would be chaos, warfare, riot!

That is the one really HUGE think about old companions. You can say anything. They already KNOW how weird you are 🙂

Reflects my sentiments precisely…politics and religion are off limits for discussion in my view!

Maybe, yet I’ve always believed that talking about things, was better than suppressing them? I did not find suitable alliteration to reply to that.
It’s too bad that politics and religion become such fuses. Especially when society is controlled through them both. It’s humorous the way religion is taken seriously, yet God is often taken lightly. Hahaha! The blame is usually heaped on Mother Nature. Cheers Jamie

Thanks for the poem. Took my mind out of neutral. I believe you just described the last day here on this earth.
