careful where you place those mines

you will walk this way again

if you are like me it’s hard to remember

when revenge is leading the way

so the better half won out when i took a moment to reflect

i played a part in the way things went down, though it’s not something

i readily admit

i went back and picked them up and put them in a pile

set them aflame and moved away as they exploded in the sky

the anger and animosity went up with the smoke

but i often leave them there, and innocent people end up being hurt

anger is a hard thing to direct it takes on a life of its own

once the bull is out the pen

you will play hell trying to put it back

careful where you place those minds, may cost you some friends
