Meaning Betwen the Lines

Careful when you read between the lines, unsaid Conjecture often just assumed instead An air of erudition and suspense Unsure of inner meaning in this stance For we write cautiously often indirect Ashamed of honest error and neglect So couch a message bearer can’t interpret Duplicity and cagy words unfit But if in truth we call a spade a spade Tread on perception, honesty that may create much hate Or jealousy or envy and revenge And leave the truthful writer misery and stench So some debate and study bible all their life For meaning and interpretation strive Or what did Shakespeare really mean? The hidden in between perception curious and keen. So next time when an email or letter sent Do not leave innuendos, empty spaces cause they matter Be careful for direct thought may provoke And label you a callous most inconsiderate bloke.
