When Escalations Of Misdeeds Increase

A process of selective hearing,
Eliminates active listening...
With a comprehension done.

We all have been guilty,
Of hearing what we choose to hear.
Only to misunderstand with attitude to gain.

And when an attitude obtained is gained,
What remains is conflict to offer.
As if a victory will be achieved.

When escalations of misdeeds increase,
There is little evidence that peace will be left...
To be kept respected.

A process of selective hearing,
Eliminates active listening...
With a comprehension done.

When escalations of misdeeds increase,
There is little evidence that peace will be left...
To be kept respected.

That is not the goal,
When an ego has been unleashed...
From its confines of common sense.
