In my little corner of the world,
Everyone is respected
Respected no matter who they are
Because it is expected
*
Color of skin?
It matters not, nor faith, nor politics.
Orientation? All are welcome
There are never clicks
Need a smile? Just look around
You’ll find those bright and yellow
Need a shoulder? Not a problem
Many here are mellow
*
In my little corner of the world,
Everyone is polite
No one judges, no one sneers
And no one dares to fight
*
Yellow flowers, yellow fields,
All is cheerful and sweet.
Bright and playful butterflies
In my own yellow retreat
*
In my little corner of the world,
Everyone is kind
Won’t you join my yellow world
Where no one is left behind?

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
