Okay
You say that's not me; I say, okay.

Relent.
Give in!
Turn; no, the other way.
Repent.

And so we have to be more quiet;

You think they do; you hope so. You trust they have and use good proven sense; then you find out not.
Syrupy Sweet
Some folks can rot your teeth.

You are struggling against creation.
