Conflict avoided?
Conflict avoided
May be challenge averted
But not usually.
More commonly
Conflict avoided
Is challenge diverted.
More commonly
Conflict avoided
Boomerangs back.
Give it the slip again
And the boomerangs multiply.
Life becomes a never ending game
Of duck and cover.
Address conflict when it’s
A minor pinch.
Or you run the risk of it becoming
A major pain.
