Savoir Faire

Oh thou fighters and
Angry young men 
And those who wish to 
CONQUER THE WORLD !!!

Would you please learn to dance !
And have a glass of wine 
And hold your partner close 
And listen to the music 

It seems that the Tango takes 
Away the aggression -
Like grounding your electricity -
Your attention could then be given

To steps and hugs and 
Finesse
To moves and turns 
And interplay with 
Another 

War 
Would then seem 
Foolish -
As it is 

There are more important things 
To do 
With your precious time 
With your fleeting youth 

- Hold one another 
Move
Have politeness
And savoir faire

Much better than 
Bombs 
And tragedy
