U-Turn
Even if,
To admit something wrong.
Takes stopping to think,
A good excuse made.
For making a mistake.
Will immediately eliminate a U-Turn.
With this done to believe,
An apology expressed.
By someone expected to accept it.
When told over and over,
Why they should receive...
Undivided attention to get.
After being right to say,
'Everytime you call me stupid.
You come back to me,
With a look that seeks forgiveness.
As if I should assume,
You did what I said you should not do!
And I'm the one you call stupid?
Is there something in your head,
That refuses to exit,
Each time the sign I give to you...
Is clearly warning,
To stop, look and listen to me first.
Before arguing over nothing.
For the winning to be right that's wrong.
That's dumb.
And two steps below stupid!'
