Do not leave angry words behind

With an exit through door with haste

Dripping with feelings maligned

Injecting a mood of distaste

For stew of dispute may burn black

When hot fire has not been quenched

Respect feels sharp sting of a smack

From discussion suddenly benched

Drench flames before stepping out

Pick words that cool dispute stray

Share wishes to find a pathway

Infuse hope that softens dismay
