Quiet Tea

Can't stand the word society Provokes immediate anxiety Same thing with psychiatry It's the opposite of variety It infuriates me justifiably Makes me act defiantly Almost all wrong entirely I rebel against compliancy Then I'll sit and have a quiet tea September 21, 2016

I can relate to this one too, Tanis. Every time I watch the news, I feel anxiety about our society. Love the way you just sit back and have a "quiet tea" in the end. What else can we do? Well done!
