Sensitivity Earns Foes

The level of tolerance makes
One sweet or bitter to others.
If one is kind, the credit goes
To his capacity of tolerance.

It's true I don't tolerate fools but then they don't tolerate me, so I am spiky. Maybe that's why I'm quite good at playing spiky elderly ladies.

On the other hand, I'm very tolerant as well. I expect that everybody can play what they want. I'm only not tolerant when it comes to myself and what is presented on my album that I have to listen to for the rest of my life.

Intolerance

I tolerate thee but not thy intolerance
From its ignorance I beg thee deliverance
So think what thy hate creates
And think till thy love permeates
Into thy mind, into thine soul
Become kind and think yourself whole.

Man Is Secure

Woman tolerates her husband
For her children and her placement
And from monogamous nature.
Man can go away seeking works
