Spinning into Control
Told you so - perpetually
Merry-go-round madness and the worst kind of sadness
Because I've seen you before and the same scene again and again
Growth cannot happen if you're spinning out of control
I am on the ride of my life that leads to control, or at least to peace
Peace for what it's worth, so I'll just stay put until a tornado comes
How can peace be at peace, or think, to spin, and spin, and spin again?
This is surely no real way to win, as the storming, windy gales blast past
There are times when the anticlimactic things of this life really are the
perfect source of freedom, despite the doctrine the world preaches.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
