Assertiveness

Poweris born from a fearless thirst

Offierce combustibility

Thatmust be sated at all cost,

Butbegs responsibility.

 

Mustadmit to overstepping,

Hardlytaking time for prepping or

Thinkingthrough before accepting

Senseand sensibility.

 

Vaultingforward in a rush of

Maddisquiet brushed and flushed

Andpounded into paltry dust

Tilall control is lost.

 

Wait!Back up and start again.

Considerwhat it takes to win

Andkeep your conscience as a friend,

Allwhile pondering the cost.

 

Nothingwrong with taking charge;

Someonehas to do it.

Butego oft gets in the way

Andbefore you know the score…

Youblew it.
