Tact
Mark Hebert
[seraphimzeta@hotmail.com]
A change in manipulation is all it is.
From crying to lying.
From knocking over blocks to knocking out the small print.
How old are you again?
You should act your age.
Harsh action is countered by harsh reaction
But a dagger in a pillow lies closer to the throat.
And a blade composed of syllables tends to pierce the most.
And a blade composed of syllables tends to pierce the most.
