A lesson?

A lesson?

When we are hurt,

lose our comfort

to ventilate

we retaliate

or we complain

in some domain

to soothe our pain

at times being insane.

But to mitigate our plight.

when the tongue, teeth bite

whom will we complain

Will the relationship ever strain

between tongue and teeth

keeping the fire underneath

to flare up at an opportune date

or live with a net of love and hate?

A philosophy on coexistence

that teaches in-depth its essence.

The tongue does not find any authority

teeth learn to live with humility.
