The Serenity Sonnet: A Plea for Calm Communication
When discourse doth turn to yelling cries,
And pitch and volume are inelegant,
Abstain from vocalization, for such lies
Have potential to exasperate.
Instead, in tranquil state of mind, retreat
And cease communication for a space,
Until the tempest in your mind doth fleet,
And serenity doth take its place.
For calm discourse doth lead to resolution,
While yelling cries doth lead to escalation.
In serenity, true progress and solution
May be found, for in calmness, true communication.
So let us strive for discourse calm and pure,
And let our words be measured, dignified, and sure.
