Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

In Risk of Offense

Slice a wire from brain to lips

Rather than speaking your mind.

Hide it wide and far away

From ones who blister to be blind.

 

Cutting the connection is better

Than offending someone upfront.

So do it silently or all alone,

Do not risk being blunt.

 

Tears may fall or even worse,

An opinion may just break!

Dreams could even be shattered,

Come on! Feelings are at stake!

 

If you shake the bowels of their world,

They might just take a shit.

You'll have to keep cleaning it up,

The wire should simply be slit.
