Touchy Subject

If you want to have
pleasant discussions
Talk of friends, or nature…
or fishin’

If you want possible
Repercussions
Talk of God
Or about religion

Neither one’s more
or less important
Than the
Other (to me)

Neither one has
More special
Purpose to
Serve (or to be)

But talkin’ of friends…
Or nature…Or fishin’
Is waaaay less likely
To touch on a nerve
