Emily Post's Yield to Despair

Emily Post's Yield to Despair

What's wrong today among behavior?

What's wrong with people's manner apart?

It seems like Knigge has bought a farm in the west

And smugness, vanity and egotism are the "nouveau art"

What's wrong with gentleness?

What's wrong with psyching one up?

What's wrong with showing some respect?

Instead of bleeding one white and cupping his cup

Is it some anger?

Seething down inside?

Does the good intention 

Make it hence right?

We're all in the same boat

Toward "The Promised Land"

With the crucifixions in our heart

Making us flounder, stumble, and stand

We are vulnerable essence

And a strong nature nevertheless

Let us remember politely and pleasant

And remind one of our suavity and confess

Confess that we so need each other 

No matter who, or where, or what or why

Let us confess and "heart-balm" all very heart

In place of being restrained, aloof, low-key or shy

Times need all generosity

Excellence and quality to reassign 

Broadmindedness, kindness, and bounty

And what's more some scrupulousness to fine

I'm here for you

I hear what you say

I understand

I pray

I love you and you are truly amazing

An amazing angel, wonderful in every way

I'm so proud of you, grateful for you being born

A dear friend making the world a better place to stay

And nothing ever else matters

True blood lingering in this vein

Presence's gift for the future

Is healthy and sane
