Courtesy

Dignified silence
This is as close as I get
But you lost the last drop
Of my true deep respect

Oh I’ve made mistakes here
How I cringe at the thought
But I’m trying to learn lessons
Really not to find fault
Because this is a new thing
And we don’t know the rules
But the shame that you’re bringing
Makes us all look like fools

Courtesy…I don’t know
It’s new to me…and tomorrow
Honestly…Perhaps I’ll find
The sun is out… and I don’t mind
Courtesy…I don’t know
It’s new to me…this whole freak show
The comment’ry…of all our lives
The sun is out…and life survives
