The Tipping Point

The Tipping Point.

How many lies
and deceptions
embellishments
and exaggerations
does it take to reach
the tipping point?

And how many disagreements
both major and minor
when multiplied ad infinitum
does it take to reach
the point of no return?

What happened to
‘blessed are the peacemakers’
and ‘love one another’.

Are they just empty words
stored in the memory
but absent from the heart.
Regurgitated in Sunday school
but missing from Monday’s rule.

I think I’ve reached the tipping point
the point of no return.
