Today's word is "incogitant" ... in-koj-i-tuh nt ... thoughtless; inconsiderate. not having the faculty of thought. (Dictionary.com)
Listen
Would you mind explaining,
those reasons that you have,
for tearing down old ways and plans,
for deciding that your way is best ...
for everyone?
Hiding your face behind your hand,
And wielding that weapon in the other,
does not clarify your anger ...
it just makes me wonder.
Sit down with me awhile.
Help me to understand how wronged
you are. And why you believe
it's my fault.
Surely we can look into each other's eyes,
and debate our points of view ...
and you can explain to me why what I think,
is without merit. Incogitant. Illogical. Useless.
Come on now. Put down your club. Come with me.
We'll have coffee and chat.
About the state of the world.
And about why nothing's working out
the way you'd hoped.
