Apathy

I can think of many who should pause and ponder before operating the machinery of the mouth...
Well said, so you musta got it in gear...

I try, but there are times when they either slip or jam with regrettable consequences.    

Thanks as always JJ

This was really powerful. Your poetry really makes me think.
Nice write!

If it is as you say, then my mission has been accomplished. To think, is to grow. Thank You for the compliment, for it warms the heart.

To think truly is to grow, you could not be more right!

yup, the 'veil' of apathy, a useful tool to allow enough time for the truth to reveal itself...then engage slip n rip...or the cold, hard, stare.

Yes, the calm before the storm or the saving of face from words misplaced. Thank You for the visit and insightful words.LR

Misconstrue they do indeed.

Perception does also play a part, and well machinery is bound to malfunction or perhaps underfunction sometimes.. And well conseuqnces..they have their own league!

Expression effective.

Thanks my friend, the visit and comment as always Effecting.

My mouth is often twin turbo supercharged in the speed of things that flow from it. Lol.

Well done piece!

LOL As long as the words are high octane and the message delivered is on track, it matters not the speed of the hole shot.  

 Your comment makes me smile my friend.  

Thanks for being here.
