Let Not Discontentment Rise by P D Dawson

Let Not Discontentment Rise

Let not discontentment rise

Or ugliness stir within

For mouths exist within a tide

Against another’s sin

Let not disarmament win

Or fear content your soul

For good intentions often spin

Against another’s goal

Let not dependency grow

Or denial to counter growth

For eyes untie like a bow

Against another’s oath

Let not drunkenness boast

Or clarity to be eschewed

For minds often raise a toast

Against another’s mood

P D Dawson
