WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE

WARNING: **STRONG LANGUAGE**

or "profanity" as they say

is largely a matter of pathetic superstition
involving some syllables pack extra FOUL, BAD
POWER despite synonyms of exact same denotative
value, typically inculcated by parents
of an ignorant, incompetent or abusively
cruel kind, in order to install in their
own child's mind a weakness for the whole
wide world
to exploit with glee,
for their whole dang life
long, unless and except they
spot the flaw, discard it
as unworthy, and

GROW UP

- and therefore, should be avoided.

Most
of these
superstitious types are good
kind, decent and harmless, or at least try
to be nice, and you don't want to hurt
such sitting ducks. They waddle and quack
pleasantly enough, sometimes cluck. Mercy

is indicated

upon the weak.
Whether it was done
to them, naturally
or nurturally, or whether

they simply chose it each day, and in each
such encounter. Mercy is indicated.

Cheers
