Flash Point
Author: Unknown
We all have our limit,
Just how much we can take,
Til we blow a gasket,
Before we start to break.
Some go off so easy,
Their trigger is a hair.
Always on the threshold,
Without a nerve to spare.
I am not so touchy,
And can take quite a bit.
But when I've had enough,
There comes that raging fit.
Anger clouds the senses,
Throws judgement out the door,
Blows out of proportion,
And shakes us to the core.
So let's all try and see,
If we can raise the bar,
Maybe all together,
Perhaps prevent a war.

This part really jumps out at me, a deep breath and some growing up is what I need sometimes..Great write overall FAL Kudos..
If we can raise the bar... If that anything like a barn raising? If so, when will the drinks be served? Do you really think that could prevent a war? Hope so! Seriously, anything that can be done to stop the madness is a good thing. Flash Point is one of them!
