Attitude Adjustment Needed<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you heard of Midas?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

All he touched turned to gold.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He certainly could buy us.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

All he lacked was a heart of gold.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Scrooge of Christmas fame,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

was a real scrooge for sure.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He lived up to his name.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He needed a heart that was pure.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The wicked witch is much the same.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Always brewing up something evil.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Seems, she knew no other game.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She needed a heart that feels.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I do not have or desire gold.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am not a scrooge at any time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a heart that feels, I\u2019m told.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So why do you treat me so unkind?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019re a new type of animal.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A new breed among the herd.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You devour more than a cannibal.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Living off destructive words.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You can rip a heart 3 ways to nothing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Destroy emotions without a thought.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet, still expect continual sweet nothings.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Without a thought of what you\u2019ve wrought<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How to live with such a person.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

One who is a Jezebel with a twist.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Goes way beyond a string of cursing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This can\u2019t go on without a hitch.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You must be a Scorpio for sure.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They are usually murdered before old age.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You treat others like dogs, or a cur.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Watch your mouth before you engage.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing but verbal vomit escapes it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s enough to piss off the Pope.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am sick and tired and I hate it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, I\u2019m not trapped without any hope.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My heart is in the right place.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, even it has limits.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be gone without a trace.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Stew about that, for a few minutes.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe, you will see the light.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wake up and change your ways.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, I\u2019m not going to get up tight.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It may take many, many, many days.—-R. W. Johnson—–(2015)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
